Creator Martha Gallahue on November 11, 2011
Congratulations, Jennie. FYI: Whoopi Goldberg is an Ethical hero. I heard that she participated in the citizens' encampment program with ethical culture when she was young. Someday, I would like to ask her how it influenced her life and let her know how proud we in ethical culture are with how she has helped people to be better folks.
Creator Reno Dakota on November 11, 2011
Congrats! And thank you for being Jennie.
Much admiration!
