This is really weird. I had a dream about you the other night. You probably don't remember this, but when we were in vet school, I met you out one night at George's and was so glad to see you. I was in the class ahead of you, and thought I was completely alone gay-wise. It was great to see another vet student there. almost made me feel normal. i had seen you around for years at school and always thought you were really cute. At the bar, you told me that there were others of your kind in school. and some in my class. Since this was the very, very end of my time there, the last thing I wanted to know was who was and wasn't gay. i felt like i knew my classmates too well as it was. I really didn't know there were any others until I saw you there that night. I immediately left the bar. I wish I cold have asked you out, but i was really conflicted. Anyway, that's kinda what the dream was about. I didn't know your name back then, so I googled your class to see if I could find your picture.

Apparently...
there had been some complaining that I should not have been accepted into this class of 87...?
"Same thing in my class (0f86). We had two "martians" who didn't belong there. One was caught cheating multiple times but never expelled, and one was so dumb he could never pass the national board. both of them were paid a stipend to attend. this was all common knowledge.they were really nice people, but just really dumb compared to the rest of the class. "

"The authors take for granted that all NHPs used in biomedical research are imported from non domestic source countries. This is just not the case. The source of all Indian origin rhesus macaques in the US since the late 1970s has been from domestic breeding colonies. This was necessitated by a global ban on the export of Indian rhesus macaques by the government of India at that time. Since then, all Indian origin rhesus macaques at the NPRCs have been domestically bred and the animals are extremely well characterized with respect to..."

Inspired by an article coming across when trying to discover how life has turned out for classmates of mine..
Could not find a current picture, off the Internets ,
for Rudolf "Skip" Bohm, Jr. Although did not know him well, even then; me, Skip, and Joe Lewis did spend one Pensacola Beach spring break together camping at Fort Pickens.
Fort Pickens is the largest of four forts built to defend Pensacola Bay, Florida, and its navy yard. The fort was begun in 1829, completed in 1834, and was named in honor of Major General Andrew Pickens of the South Carolina militia, who fought with distinction in several Revolutionary War battles including Cowpens and the Siege of Ninety-six. He also led several campaigns against the Cherokees, who called him "Wizard Owl." Fort Pickens was one of only four forts in the South that was never occupied by Confederate forces during the Civil War, thanks to a heroic stand by Lieutenant Adam Slemmer with one company of artillery and a few sailors, aided by one U.S. Navy ship, the Wyandotte. Fort Pickens was as important as Fort Sumter in Charleston, S.C. during the crisis between Abraham Lincoln's election in November, 1860 and the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12. 1861. The fort was reinforced the day after Fort Sumter surrendered, preventing the Confederates from controlling Pensacola Bay and using the Pensacola Navy Yard. |
Good Lord!
That was one cold spring break!

Brittany Gary, a 2011 recipient of the single parent scholarship program, is in her senior year in college majoring in education. She plans on teaching high school English.
“I don't think I would have been able to go to college without the help I've received. You just don't realize how much every little bit helps out until you get it,” Gary said.
Gary, who has a three-year-old daughter, said she’s learned that “it's okay to do what you like instead of a job you hate that pays more money.” She enjoyed helping others with their homework when she was in high school and so she decided to go into education as her major.
How do single parents get a scholarship? First, they must fill out an application...
The money single parents receive goes directly to the single parents, male and female. The money can be used to remove any barrier to the recipient's success whether it be childcare, groceries, utilities or rent. The recipients also receive encouragement from board members and community volunteers.
