I always felt it a privilege to attend "The University." I'm a Hoo through and through. I have a deep and abiding love for "The University" and I always will. I was in Charlottesville 3 years at the hospital as a student then worked at the hospital for 3 years as an RN, before leaving to make our home in Radford, VA--where my husband set up a Pediatric practice, in which he is still working 3 mornings a week.
