Condolences to Lynette Oliver

Lynette Oliver, receptionist / clerical support staffer in the Small Business Empowerment Center office -- she is our face to the world, so to speak -- lost her husband Jeffrey Oliver in a motorcycle accident last night (9/26/07) on State Street in East St. Louis, IL.

Our hearts and thoughts are with Lynette and her family and friends. Arrangements pending.
