    Haha, “We would watch ‘The Puzzle Place’ the way athletes watch game film.”. Hearing Jamie’s passion is was so much fun for me! Her energy is so inspiring. What if we ALL were that excited about our work? And, that impact on the bullies…WOW!!! To quote a song that came to mind… “What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world that would be.”
