"What a wonderful blend you do offer in Omaha.  "Scholarship first" sets the tone of this wonderful value-investment investigation shared by many. Philanthropic support for the University of Nebraska's mission is a wonderful, caring touch. Finally, camaraderie amongst gathered attendees creates a lasting, learning environment as I know that, over the years, friendships and associations have been securly formed. "
