Re: Trentyn update - Jen Ohio

[Guest guest]

I actually know someone that I used to work with who relocated to the

Columbus area a while ago and loves it. He lived here in Chicago

before. I can put you in touch if you would like. Great family, he

works for a band, they have kids still in school but older I think.

I don't have personal experience down there. I lived small town

farther north.
