MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
  • Sorry for the late posting; sugar, Purim, and temper tantrums will do that to you.
  • Question: Isn't It Pretty to Think So asks, "I'm looking for Dr. E. Scott Sills. He was my RE before he left the practice. He moved and then moved again, and I don't know how to find him. I would like to get in touch with him for some advice." Any chance someone goes to this doctor and can help her out?
