The OAAC office is located in beautiful downtown Carnegie! well... not exactly. . .
The office is located in the NE corner of our home. The good news is, it's in my home and I can be reached at almost any hour of the night or day... the bad news is, it's in my home and I can be reached at almost any hour of the night or day. I try to answer your e-mails and phone calls within 24 hours. If you have not received a reply from me within 48 - resend... it's either been eaten by the internet grimlins or I've been sidetracked and need to be refocused.
There will be times when I am out of the office and on the road. Check the Calendar drop down list of "Where is Gail?" to see if I'm on the raod again.
The OAAC office is open from 12:30 until at least 4:00 each day.

Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck.
"To be what we are and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only creed of life."
Robert Louis Stevenson
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
Jack London
American Author
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." –
T. E. Lawrence
English archaeologist, military strategist and author
You are where you are today because you stand on somebody's shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It's the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give."
V. Jordan, Howard Univ. 2002
