What are your general comments?
It was absolutely FABULOUS! I was a bit skeptical about going down to NOLA post Katrina, not really knowing what to expect or how I would respond, but the attitudes of Dr. Beckman and Father/Dr. Don were INCREDIBLE. I love those two! The lunch was the best I have had yet on an interview and you are done at 12:15.
