"...I remember this because for three years my Psychosocial-Rehab program traveled to tour the Station.  He always was there to answer their questions and talk with them. The consumers of course enjoyed the tour and everyone their took time with them, but to their surprise the manager took that time.  You don't know how often they spoke of that....I hope your next manager will have the same kind of heart. The heart that took time out for people from Duplin County. God bless all of you in this time." -Margaret Vincent, QP,BSW
