In my first general meeting with @lenawaithe, I closed by telling her that if she needed anything at all, all she had to do was call...
But that she didn't need my help, that all she had to do was keep doing what she was doing...
& that has proved to be true. She's never needed my help. If anything I've leaned on her far more than she has ever asked me for anything...
