This edition of NETTY'S BRAG PAGE is dedicated to PEOPLE GOIN' PLACES:

He's IN THE NAVY NOW. Mick's cutie-pie cousin, Scott Reynolds, just left for eight weeks of boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Michigan. His mother says that he'll eventually be trained in "Advanced Electronics / Computer Something." Here's Scott at what he called his LAST SUPPER: pictured with Kate, Rod and Susie. Go Sailor!

On to ORAL SURGERY. Our friends the Nelsons got good news yesterday: Tyler's been accepted to his #1 post DDS program choice at Highland Hospital in Oakland. In the words of his most happy wife, Natalie, "It's 4 more years, we get paid, and no more tution/student loan debt!" She also said Tyler slept soundly for the first time in 3 weeks last night.Here's the Nelson family: Tyler, Natalie, Whitney and Cole. They've been our Ridgeway Apartment neighbors since we moved here (Tyler started UoP the year before Mick); Whitney and Aubrey have spent many hours together in flouncy dresses and glass slippers.

And another UoP student doing the Ridgeway Apartments proud: our friend/neighbor Rich Michaud found out yesterday he's been awarded a PEDIATRIC RESIDENCY at Temple University / Hospital in Pennsylvania for 2 years. Rich and Shari poured their hearts and souls into getting there and this is great big huge cool news.
