Gary wrote to tell us that he found a cat a week ago and hasn't had any luck finding her owner: We live across the street from John Stanford International, and a week ago Sunday I was in bed when I heard a cat repeatedly meowing…I thought it was one of ours, so after hearing it for a while, went out and found a scared, hungry, thirsty little brown tabby right at the entrance to the JSIS basketball court/playground.  She clearly…

Wallingford *Evergreen* Pediatrics

As we reported back in August, Dr. Springer and the staff at Wallingford Pediatrics said good-bye to Wallingford at the end of September. Wallingford Pediatrics had served the community since 1981, helping generations of Wallingford kids grow up healthy and answering bazillions of new-parent questions for new Wallingford parents. Luckily, there wasn't a pediatric void in Wallingford for long! Evergreen Pediatrics of Kirkland bought the practice, and pediatrician Dr. Basma Raees began seeing clients on October 1. Dr. Springer wrote of his…
