Oooops, gator
We love living on a nature reserve (www.deweesisland.com) but commuting can be tricky
Odd "animals" on Dewees beach

Aim higher; attitude
The senior nurse (Phyllis Malpas), who manages our Endoscopy department at the Medical University where I work, is the incoming President of the SGNA, the Society for Gastrointestinal Nurses and Associates in USA.

Reggie Fairchild give some …
