I originally hail from Chattanooga but we moved to Atlanta when my father was transferred with the railroad. As fate would have it, I am now working in the same building that he did. I am a six-year cancer survivor and I believe everyone has a story to tell, and that we should concentrate more on what we all have in common rather than our differences. I enjoy reading books. Recently I read two books by Mitch Albom, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and "Tuesdays With Morrie."
