My wife went to a Catholic Nursing School in New York and I'll pass this on to her.

Thanks for the ping.

Cagey, I can't either but I have mine and cherish it dearly.

Navy-Seal Dad, thank you for sharing this. Are you or a family member a nurse?

It never ceases to amaze me how contagious being a nurse can be.

I have two cousins who are nurses also.
