Gratifying Relief for Leah Mooney

I am happy to report that Leah did an outstanding job in her final presentation. It was a wonderful event to attend. Each presenter had their own cubicle which had some nice lighting. Leah had the perfect spot for her cubicle - just as you came in the door to the auditorium - so you noticed her presentation immediately. Even though the day was 100 degrees with high humidity - the auditorium was nicely air conditioned, and even though there were some fraught moments with wrinkled boards that had to be smoothed out using a hair dryer to reactivate the glue (nice tip from Bill Mooney), and Leah's nerves starting to become unglued (pardon the pun!) as she was the last presenter - she was poised, and gave a great 7 minute verbal presentation. She was brilliant. Julie St. Sauveur Cramer was able to come and watch as well as Bill and myself. The judges (2 men and 1 woman) gushed about her design and all of the thought that went into her concept/design and execution. They were extremely impressed (as we were!) with her design and lay out of her boards. It was a wonderful experience to watch Leah show case her work and listen to the feedback with the judges and to see Leahwhile she was put on the spot when asked specific questions about why she chose a certain color. The day ended with a champagne toast! Wonderful.
