Jen Mullin, right, delivers a hug from Lynn to her Deb, left, her best friend from sixth grade.
Last Friday, Jan. 9, we published, in Dallas Voice and here at DallasVoice.com, a story about an old friend of mine named Jen Mullin who, after losing her job to the pandemic and with it the house under construction in Belize where she planned to spend her retirement years, decided to sell her house in New Jersey and hit the road. She bought herself a used minivan (named Thursday) and is living “the van life.” She posted on social media about having made it to Maine, adding that she would be heading out the next day. I asked her to go to Portland before she left Maine to find another old friend of mine Glenn Shelton, who Jen had never met and deliver a hug to him from me.
