Relationships Hi Jennifer, I wanted to thank you for the email you sent me. I don't know when I will end up going back to school it will probably be this fall or the following fall due to many upcoming changes in my life...(I'm getting married !!) If there are any information packets about the school and vet tech program that can be mailed to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Phonathon: “Thanks for calling. I was meaning to get in touch with you.”
