 client testimonial
 

"I have known Ms. Hughes for over 30 years, from the time she was a student in several classes I taught in the School of Social Work at Arizona State University, to the present time. During the years, I have followed her impressive career in both social services and the field of communications. For Mary, working with the aged has not just been a job, it's been a vocation, a calling that she takes very seriously. If I were still her professor and grading her for her work with elders at different levels of service, I would give her an A+."
