Today was the day of the open house at the new C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Wow, there were a lot of people there! You could get to see most floors but not everywhere on any floor. There was a lot o waiting at elevators. We left after looking round »

The prints are in the range of 16 x 20 inch. »
