#43 Redo/fine tune my resume 1/15/13

This I accomplished with the help of one of my new daughter-in-laws.  She works for St. Thomas college in the writing clinic.  She was very helpful in helping me get my resume up to date and looking more modern.  Thank you Nicole!!  She sure makes me look impressive  :)
