I&#8217;m up w Hartford having dinner with Deb Uscilka\u200b\u200b  and Annie ! <\/p>\n<p>Anne O&#8217;Connor Gambina was my old boss back in New York. When I really really wanted to be a software teacher, she gave me a spot, sight unseen, when she was the Director of Education for New Horizons Learning Centers in Long Island. In short order allowed me to teach as much as I wanted and whatever I wanted. Day after day I went from Macromedia training to Adobe. CIW, A+ , Net+, MCSA MCDST Security, oracle, office apps. There wasn&#8217;t a topic she wouldn&#8217;t be like &#8220;Oh RC can do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She was the one who encouraged me to meet up w her sister in law to be at a Photoshop World. Were it not for her prompting &#8211; I wouldn&#8217;t have met Stacy Spilkevitz O&#8217;Connor . I wouldn&#8217;t have taken that Photoshop class- and I wouldn&#8217;t have met Scott Kelby\u200b\u200b .<\/p>\n<p>By believing in me she set the ball in motion &#8211; and I&#8217;m eternally grateful that she let me stretch my wings in her school. Such a blast to see her tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tonight was a cool night for me.
