What a wonderful, fascinating, engaging program . . .Susan is a wonderful storyteller and the people in the clips she showed shared deeply moving, informative, and often humorous stories of their own.- Anita R.

Wonderful program!  Such a terrific and inspiring speaker with so many stories to share. - Sheryl T. 

Very successful and inspiring program. Susan Weinberg modeled how one can bravely start a project and allow it to carry one to new skills, horizons, and combinations of talents!   Sparked lots of memories, questions, and positive responses from the audience. - Alicia M.
