Randy Fluharty writes: “In February, I joined a small food company near Asheville, N.C. American Quality Foods manufactures and distributes healthier dessert mixes, selling direct to over 5,000 hotels, casinos, retirement communities, corporate dining facilities, hospitals and nursing homes, etc. This is the smallest company in which I have worked, but perhaps the most fun. The agility of a small company, the creativity of working with food scientists to create new desserts, and, of course, being part of the tasting panel, makes this a great place to run. So, if you are in the mood for something low sugar, low cal, low sodium, but great tasting, check out americanqualityfoods.com.”

Stephanie Nakasian (O’Brien) has been singing jazz for 30 years following a brief business career at First Chicago and the New York Futures Exchange as a marketing consultant. She writes: “I have 12 CDs out and perform all over the world. I am teaching voice at the University of Virginia and The College of William and Mary. I am married to Hod O’Brien, a famous jazz pianist (been together since 1980). We have a daughter, Veronica (16), who also tours as a jazz singer with 2 CDs out and whose credits include the Telluride Jazz Festival and jazz at Lincoln Center. I hope to see my Northwestern friends as we tour around the country! Check out my website at stephanienakasian.com.”
