Just thought I'd share this in case somebody wants to move to AZ. I received
an additional message from a colleague at the college describing the area. It
sounds very nice, especially if you're an out-doors kind of person.
Anyone interested in moving to Flagstaff, AZ? NAU has an opening. See the
attached job announcement.
