  1. Obviously, Florida Memorial hasn’t researched any past history on this woman. Search Mountain State University and her name will appear many times in a negative way. I guess the news hasn’t hit Florida yet. Please do your background work. Hurry, you have 2 weeks to get your ducks in a row and get rid of her!
