I can't take the credit for this one, brother.

I've been so busy I'll be blessed just to attend AND Doug said he'd chauffeur me around so that I might enjoy an adult beverage this time!

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hey Yunz In The Burgh...

We know that there are numerous TRF'ers in the Pittsburgh area.

Come meet with us as friends come from as far as Connecticut and Michigan.

Mr. and Mrs. "Figbo" have joined us from Florida, for the past few GTGs!

PM, or post here, for upcoming details.

They had just started the cardiac surgery program when I left and were in the planning stages of the new hospital- glad to know things are going well over there. I used to work in a small office with Dr. Gribik just past the bridge as you enter town from the south, It was a nice drive from North Hills.
