I will forever be grateful to James for introducing me to Josepha (Jossie). I suppose I feel lucky, but I’m also reminded about my “über-angst” for all these 33 years of being in this profession. See, for me, Jossie is “the one.”
She represents the kind of professional I had assumed populated our ranks. Without being invidious, I must say I have been largely disappointed with most. The operative adjective to define Jossie is “open-minded.”
She has no rigid point of view and is influenced only by the objective data. She has never been dismissive in the face of something she didn’t understand. She has no agenda, hidden or otherwise. And, likewise, I’m learning from her, in both substance and spirit.
Indeed, we have been corresponding almost daily, and with each day my admiration for her grows. I’m not going to become obsequious, but this is the person I had been waiting for, for my entire professional career. Jossie has given me renewed hope for our future. Bravo Jossie!
