#Lynchburg friends, you should check out the Lynchburg Neighborhood Podcast. So far I've listened to this episode & the one with Dr. Owen Cardwell. Both were so good! I'm looking forward to learning even more. Thanks @runningsenorita for the suggestion.
@tracyjoproffitt@runningsenorita Thank you so much for listening and sharing! It was such a treat for me to sit with Prof. Abell and Dr. Cardwell and learn from them!
