I am honored and excited to inform you of an upcoming annual event to support cancer genetics research at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Dr. Susanne Gollin, a Highland Park resident, is a cancer genetics researcher and professor at Pitt. Susanne and her husband, Lazar Palnick, hold an annual event, *Spring Fling to Combat Cancer*, which helps fund the Joan Gollin Gaines Cancer Research Fund at Pitt (*see event details below*). Both Susanne and her sister, Joan, are cancer survivors. Joan's son, Austin, started the ‘Joanie’ fund at the University of Pittsburgh with the guidance of his aunt, Susanne, and University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute Founding Director, Ronald B. Herberman, M.D.. To date, this event and other efforts have contributed over $200,000 directly to Pitt without administrative cost deductions or political interference. *Please consider attending this important event or, if you are not able to attend, consider contributing to the fund to advance the school's efforts in combating a disease that has touched so many of us.* [image: Inline image 2] *5th Spring Fling to Combat Cancer* When: Tuesday, April 18, 2017 from 5:30 - 8 PM Where: The Rivers Club in Pittsburgh Guests will be treated to a spectacular evening featuring an hors d’oerves and cocktail reception, a fabulous silent auction, and special guest speakers.

Carpet installer
by Susan Ryan 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

From: Susan Ryan <susan(a)cmphys.phys.cmu.edu> To: neighborhod(a)highlandparkpa.com Subject: Carpet installer We have just worked with someone whom we would like to recommend. He tore out stair/hall carpeting for us and laid new carpet and padding. His name is: Rick Rabold 724-816-0749 Rambold1952(a)yahoo.com Rick worked for many yeas at ColorWheel in Oakmont where we purchased carpet in 2000. 17 yrs later we wanted to replace it and the owner of ColorWheel died a few years ago. Rick worked for him and is semi-retired but still orders and installs carpet. Both days he was working (first tearing out the carpet) and doing the back (and knee)breaking work of cutting and installing, he never stopped once and worked efficiently, arrived on time and was very pleasant to work with. He will bring, if you wish, a variety of samples as well. We highly recommend him. Susan Ryan Tom Ferguson --
