Prom

The Gala is...

...an annual event held for the Second Year medical students 

from LMU DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine. 

We get to dress up fancy, head to a swanky hotel in Knoxville 

and pretend (just for the evening) that we live normal lives.

I also purchased a corsage for my beautiful date Rachel Grisham

 Nick Treece and Rachel
