“Angie is a delightful person to work with. She is well organized, hospitable, well networked, well traveled. When I expressed reluctance to come to her TechRouler event because of the distance, she cajoled me into participation and assured me that I would not regret doing so. :-) She was so right! The three students that I brought also concurred.”
