Favorite quotation:

"Our lives on this planet are too short, the work to be done is too great.  But we can perhaps remember, that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment of life, that they seek as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness.  Surely this bond of common fate, this bond of common roles can begin to teach us something, that we can begin to work a little harder, to become in our hearts brothers and countrymen..."   Robert F. Kennedy 

Travel

Ms. Peterson-Lord travels to San Felipe, Mexico frequently and made a trip to Tuscany for vacation in recent years, and another trip to Cambodia to represent clients at the US Consulate in Phnom Penh.  Spain and Portugal are planned for Summer 2012.  Because she is the grand-daughter of Swedish immigrants, Sweden is a destination goal.  Her ultimate dream is to see every country.
