LUCKY VETS IN WISCONSIN

Posted on November 3, 2012 by asknod

LawBob sends this one to us. I do so hope that the University of Washington (Tacoma) or the University of Puget Sound would institute something like this. On the other hand, I wish Gonzaga made it mandatory in order to … Continue reading →
