Allied on the Hudson

Fall rafting at it's finest. I love this new SOTAR and the pacesetters up front are my new paddling pals - Donna (left) and Susan (right). 
I was so passionately engaged in conversation in our sporty 13' SOTAR with experienced crew that I forgot to put my helmet on after lunch. Photo by Melody Thomas

I met Susan Mack through my work as a speech-language pathologist advocating for children ages birth through three in the Adirondack Park. Susan is the executive director of the Adirondack Birth Through Three Alliance (http://www.adirondackbt3.org/). It is the alliance's vision that all young children are supported by a full complement of services and resources essential for success in school and in life.
