Good Morning Dr. Gueli, I had the pleasure to hear your lecture almost a year ago regarding the “Government Girls” and I would like to know if your book as been published. I thoroughly enjoyed the lecture with the pictures and the participation in the audience from some of the very “girls” in which you were speaking! Best Wishes, Eve
