That list is interesting considering that even their president isn't on there.  JK didn't make it to the top 20, she made it to the top 15!

I knew this would happen again. She's always on some kind of list that lists good/great people. I'm not surprised, either. Congrats Jo, and I'm/we are very proud of you!

That's good for her. 13 is kind of low, I think she should have been higher  | |
