We just received a message from an incoming Braniff student looking for housing:
"Hello, my name is Nathan Longacre. I will be starting at the Braniff Graduate School in the fall. However, I currently live in Oregon, and I need to find a place to live when I move to Irving. I am therefore looking for housing. For any potential roommates, I will tell you that I am responsible, clean, and honest. I am very easy to live with and anyone who has ever roomed with me will attest to my integrity. I am a practicing Roman Catholic, and I take my faith very seriously and adhere to the Church's moral precepts in my life. I will be 25 years old when I begin graduate school. I do not drink, I do not smoke, and I do not do drugs."
You can contact Nathan at [email protected] if you have any leads.
