“The American Dream

is Alive and Well!”

As an amateur writer, having a high quality editor is invaluable, comforting, and greatly appreciated. For the past five years, I’ve been blessed with the editing skills of Allyn Geer, whom I’ve known now for over ten years. When we first met, we were both in the mortgage business, and became part of a leadership team that worked closely to develop a quality new-hire orientation program for one of the largest banks in the country.

After we both left the bank, we went about other pursuits, but managed to stay in touch. Awhile back, I was given the opportunity to co-author an eBook, The Virtual Office, which became an Amazon best seller. For that three-month project, Allyn provided exceptional editing – untangling confusing and circular verbiage, as well as delivering counsel and support.

On my most recent blog on the lost boy of Sudan, Allyn added a powerful statement that I believe deserves a place of its own, as a succinct, relevant and powerful ending:

“Editor’s note: Here’s a reminder that the American dream is alive and well. What a stark contrast to the picture being painted far too often by politicians and pundits this election season. Shame on them and shame on those who believe them.”

Thanks, Allyn, couldn’t have said it better myself!
