The picture of Highland in the Business Week article is one I took of my daughter Katee at this year's Krewe of Highland Parade. Life is sometimes soooo cooool!

very nice! I'm pleasantly surprised they were willing to change the pic so quickly. Please let me know if any local media picks up on this. Highland rocks!!! :-)
