I ask them: “What is reading?”


I compare it with mine –It’s pretty much the

“Greetings Bonnie, It was excellent to speak with you after 20 years. You worked with me via a City of Columbus

NMA session in 1988 and it made all the difference in

my career. I gained the confidence needed to start studying and sit for the Ohio Architectural Registration

exam. The skills that counted the most were my ability to concentrate, read, comprehendaccurately, retain the knowledge and recall in

order to make correct choices and decisions. Respectfully,

Conrade C. Hinds, Architect
