Dianna Ridgway, the heart and soul of DTC, has started her maternity leave and is expecting her second baby in the second half of March.  Dianna looks incredibly healthy and, in all honesty, we think Steve put on more weight during her pregnancy than she.  Dianna, Gilbert and DTC's ‘mascot’ Alejandro are relocating to Las Cruces, New Mexico to be near Gilbert’s extended family.  The good news is that Dianna will continue to work for DTC, but for some reason the daily 1,200 mile round-trip commute was too much for her to consider working out of the Grand Junction office.  Jim Dillon, DTC's Vice President of Research has taken the day-to-day reins from Dianna and will assume responsibilities for managing the Grand Junction office, in addition to publishing DTC's research products.  Dianna holds the distinction of being DTC's first employee (2003) and has had a role in developing practically everything that our clients receive.  Needless to say, we are currently beside ourselves at Dianna’s physical absence in the office, but are happy for Dianna and her family (and selfishly happy for us that Dianna will continue to work for DTC).
