But this year I also learned a lot of unexpected lessons and had a few changed plans; not just on vacation, but changes for my whole life. We were four hours into the trip when we pulled into a town in Missouri for a quick trip to the store and a break when there was a horrible snap, a thump and I could suddenly barely move the steering wheel.

Turning Possibility Into Reality By Greg Muse, HST Advancement Director The American stock market achieved new heights over the last year.
