I’m a retired pharmacist. Stateside pharmacy officer at hospital at Ft. Ord 1973-1976. She looks like a WRAIN nurse. They were the cream of the crop of the cream of the crop. So smart. So godly…loving people. The best nurses I ever met in my 50 years in pharmacy. They were our nations best. And I’ve seen good nurses. Got my pharmacy degree from UCSF. She was so cute. Must have had a rough time keeping the lonely guys away. Mostly Berry program docs probably.

Thanks for your service, Edie. Tremendous woman! Looks like you must have been really attractive... the beauties always have a hard time and I admire those who fight off inappropriate calls. I think those who develop the skills to reprove the male in a touching way may even make them better persons and appreciative (respectful) friends.
