  3. Superving Nurse Doris informed me that you relocated to Pittsburgh. I’m from there. In Nov 2017 I took my granddaughter there for a weekend of activities recruiting diversity students for the 2018 freshman class. Her best girlfriend is a freshman there and loves it. She did get accepted to Miami OH U and waiting on Howard U. I think she’ll end up at Miami because that’s where my son, daughter, and her mom graduated. I’ll leave you a message by phone to contact me. Again, congrats Doc
