[Lnc-business] Question on Policy Manual

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Thank you - a friend asked me about that in the PM and I was like..... hmmm

*  In Liberty,*
* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas) in an actual email, please contact me privately and let me know.  *
