Thanks so much for sharing, myle! Hopefully, he or she will show up because it would be great to meet that person! I'm glad I remembered to post here. :) I'll have to get into the habit of doing so regularly. Considering who is on the panel and the work they're doing around adolescents and the problems that kids face, I'm looking forward to a great discussion! Enjoy your weekend and thanks again!
