Other thought: to provide another opportunity nearby for the car…

Nice to see you on this website. I met you a couple of years ago visiting my family in RaAnana. My sister in law is Susan Weingarden. I have a pediatric aquatic therapy company called Angelfish Therapy in Connecticut, in the US. Hope to see you sometime soon.
