  1. Dear Dr. Bent-Goodley, I heard you speak at the XII NBCCin July and know that you live in Maryland. Perhaps you can help me with my granddaughter’s problem. She attends Morgan State U. and commutes from Elkridge (1.5 hrs each way) and while we await housing for her on campus I would like to find a DECENT hotel near to the Silver Link Line where she can stay for (I hope) approximately one week. 9/25-10/1/2017

    Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

    Be blessed, always.
