From colleagues:
According to the feedback sheets: Your program was a hit, and they want more!
~ Marianne Pysarchyk, Teen Librarian & Tech Services Manager at Pequot Library

I’ve admired and collected Adair’s fine art for 30 years. Her art speaks to me of honesty, thoughtfulness, energy, and peace, and at times, a humorous spoof. Adair’s ease with a brush shows so clearly in the floral watercolors — they’re graceful and enigmatic, with just enough there…and just enough NOT there. I look forward to acquiring more from Adair to add to my collection.
~ Patrice Barrett, Art Collector, Personal Trainer

You have been such a beam of light, and I know you have encouraged and heartened many others too.

Difficult to select a “Service Category” for Adair is a knowledgeable pr agent, writer/editor, blogger, IT consultant, web designer, and career coach. Besides a broad and deep command of these areas, Ms. Heitmann can always be relied upon to exceed expectations of quality and deadlines. I endorse her without qualification.
~ Mike Roer, serial entrepreneur, author.

I am hard pressed to think of a more talented and professional individual as Adair Heitmann. She is a woman of high standards and integrity.
~ Christopher La Belle, Principal, Six to Six Interdistrict Magnet School

You have been a steadying influence. I especially like your written words that bring us together and remind us we are a community.
