Just “Google” Cheryl Savageau, and you will begin to understand this woman’s many accomplishments. Apparently, some of her inspiration is derived from being an Abenaki Indian descendant. The Abenakis were just some of the Indian tribes located in New Hampshire. We are looking forward to learning more about this lady, whose name we have not heard before.

I hope that some of you can attend one of her lectures.
