I would like to know if you still have transcripts from as far back as 1967? I don't know if this the correct format to use, however, I'm trying to re-enroll in college after a lot years. I've decided to get my BA degree after sending my children to college and having them give me with seven wonderful grandchildre. For many years I've been preaching to them how important it is for them to get their education, now it's time for me to practice what I've been preaching. I am now living in California and wish to enroll in the University of Phoenix Online program. so if you can help me get the information I would greatly appreciate it. My name is Beverly A McKnight and I lived in Dayton at the time. Please help if you can. Thank You

Every time your new TV ad comes on, even if I'm on the PC, with my back turned -- I scream in pain. Why, oh why, did you choose that girl (the one with glasses) to do the ad? Her voice is absolute torture.
