Received a call today and I was offered the promotion with our Preferred Services Division within Yellow Transportation. I have until Friday of this week to make the final decision. We will be moving to the Atlanta, GA. area by the end of the month if I accept. They are flying Lynn, Brett and I down on August 16th for a tour of the area and few days with real estate agents. Lynn and I are going to let it sink in for a few days before we make the final decision, but we are 99.9% sure we are going.  We need some help from our Atlanta, GA. members, our son Brett had CP and we need to know the best area's for school's for kids with special needs (high school) he is 14 now and would be starting his first year of High School this fall.

Hope it works out for you both John, as it sounds as though both your minds are made up. Good luck with the school hunt as this is a major factor not only for you but for Brett as well

John, How exciting! I'm happy for you and your family. I'm sure you earned your promotion and I'm sure the change will be all good. How is Lynn's dad doing? Is Lynn getting the support she needs?

Congratulations John I'm glad for you and your family, and quite frankly a little jealous. Moving to Georgia! Now you'll be a "dam Yankee"

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Hey John, Congrats. Not sure what part of Hotalanta you'll be in, but IF you're in the western area, Newnan is not only Triumph HQ, but also a pretty nice little area to live and raise family. Got a cousin of my wife who lives there, and it was always a really pretty area. NOW, if you should be up in the northern area, maybe you could settle in Dahlonega and bug Chy all the time! It might be a stretch for a commute, but it would be a nice twisty commute!!!
