To all:
I'm sorry to have caused such a stir here. As I've posted in the past,
I used GBMC as a "place" for my sightings when in fact I should have used
Greater Baltimore Meditech Center. I shouldn't have assumed that everyone
here would know the location since these reports are state-wide. In future
postings, I will be sure to be more specific.
