After I left Uncle Sugar, I worked as a janitor, printing pressman (AB Dick 360 offset), VA file clerk, and a hospital orderly. I graduated from nursing school (RN) in 1986.

hello steelers.

i'm a begining player looking for one-on-one instruction in the las vegas or henderson nevada area. i've looked on the bb's of the local music stores, and have asked around, but no luck so far. any help would be appreciated.
