Hello all, As per the welcome message, my first post to Lactnet is my intro. My name is Penny Piercy and I am an IBCLC living in Tomball, Texas, USA (30 mi. NW of Houston). My lactation background is founded in nearly a decade's personal bf experience and several years of volunteer counseling. My academic background includes one master's degree in English, another in library science, and a medieval studies certificate from Indiana University. I was a member of Lactnet for some years, "aways back" as we say in the southern US, and as I nurture my fledgling private LC practice, I find myself in need of the au courant information and professional support of lactnetters. Warmly, Penny ------------ Penny Piercy, MA, MLS, IBCLC MOM to Patrick (9.5), Sarah (5), & Eric (2) Living and learning in Tomball, Texas, USA *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
