Thoughts and Prayers


Please keep Jonathan Reed, DCA at Michigan State University, his wife, Sandra Snow, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.  Dr. Reed is in ICU as a result of a fireplace explosion at his home.  Thanks for sending positive thoughts to this member of our extended ACDA family.
