Pamela Ruegg, “The first (NMC) meeting I was really intimidated. I remember, first of all, in that era there weren’t very many females attending the meeting. Now, that has completely changed. I remember going into that environment at that time and feeling intimidated as I drove down there with my friend. The thing I remember about that first meeting is I had a lot to learn and I wanted to learn the stuff that I was hearing other people talking about.”
