DeWitt writes, “I have recently left Barnes and Noble,
where I spent three years as a customer service manager, to pursue
a new opportunity with Vertex Inc. My new job primarily is to provide
PC support for tax professionals. I am also active in local community
theater and am currently playing Guildenstern in “Rosecrantz
and Guildenstern Are Dead” for the King of Prussia Players. But
most importantly, I have recently proposed to my partner of four years,
George Wilson. No date has been set as we are still researching the
legality of logistical issues of a same-sex marriage.” Valerie
