Love the photo of AGH, Fred! Thanks for posting it! I walked through that front entrance many a time in my 10 years working there.

Thanks for your comment Leslie. You are part of that army of nurses. You can see my posts at Fred’s GMG assigned time slot of 9:01 am to 10:01 am every day, health status and medical appointments permitting. I try to post every day 🙂
