Ana's  Vision: As a result of my coaching practice, I plan to build a foundation for young women to further their education in memory of my daughter-in-law, Lynn Armstrong Reister, who was tragically murdered in 2001. Lynn was a captain in the US Army. She inspired her troops who loved her in return. Lynn was the mother of my grandson whom I never see. She had "pulled herself up by her own bootstraps" working through school. She had precious dreams of her own, goals for herself and her family. We both looked forward to a very close relationship. This Foundation is at Lynn's alma mater, Norwich University in Vermont.
