Mitch Wertlieb at Vermont Public Radio conducted an interview with Jeff and Dwight this morning.

I heard the interview this morning on the way to work. The inspiration behind the creation of the website sparked my interest.

I am a social worker working at a non-profit organaization and I will be passing this site on to friends and co-workers.December 20th, 2007 at 10:11 AM
