It's the small things that mean a lot- I know that whenever I get a handwritten card in the mail it really makes me feel special and cared about.

I enjoyed reading this posting very much. I attempt to make a somewhat intimate connection of all those I meet...especially those I meet during 'USC Networking Events'.
