Dr. Nance did not see a truck driver who could not read or write wellshe saw potential. I cannot really comment on the technical side of what she did, and I cannot tell you how or what she didbut whatever it wasit obviously worked. She transformed a truck driver who had done little reading into someone who finished his bachelors, masters, and has now completed a doctoral degree! What I do know is that her kind spirit and gentle encouragement spurred me onwards toward a thirst for reading and learning all I can. The simple reality is this: the work Dr. Mary Nance has done works! I am living proof!
Dr. Ashley Olinger, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Williston, North Dakota
