As the first single-nationality American to receive a new degree from an international college in Brooklyn, New York - I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPAY THE STUDENT LOAN DEBT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NEW DEGREE, CALLED A MASTER OF FINE ARTS COMPUTER GRAPHICS

I DO NOT HAVE MONEY.  I DO NOT HAVE MONEY.   I DO NOT HAVE MONEY.

I do not have money for anything.  I do not have sufficient income.  I do not have savings.  I do not anyone interested in helping me with employment in Missouri.  I do NOT have finances or any kind of grants available to help discharge the student loan debt that I acquired from 1988-1990 while studying for a Masters degree in New York City.  

I am looking for money.  If there is anyone out there who can help me, please contact me at 26twosix@att.net.   I have membership with IEEE, because I was told that organization would pay off the debt, by accrediting agency ABET, in 2009.  This has not helped me with the debt in any way.  
There are three women who are members of the IEEE Women in Engineering group in the St. Louis region, and I do not know any of them to be helpful with discharging this debt.  The men who are involved in IEEE have not helped with any employment opportunities.   I have sought employment continuously for years, and would like to work.  I did not retire.  I was not believed widely in this area to be a Registered Architect, to have done work that I say that I did, to have a degree that is anything useful.

Washington University response




Washington University refused to pay any amount of money, in this letter.


Infante employment letter, 2004

I saw the engagement ring, mentioned in this letter, again, in a picture, taken by Paul James Metzger III, a couple of months ago.  The ring was given to Michael Metzger, son of Paul James Metzger III, and, he gave the ring to Kimberly Cotsworth, when they were married, in 2013.  See this website:   http://cotsworthmetzger.ourwedding.com/ .   So, between November, 1999 and September 21, 2013, the ring was somewhere unknown to me, and I never saw the ring.  Before marriage in November, 2000, Paul James Metzger III promised to return the ring to me as a wedding ring.  But, I never saw the diamond and platinum ring.  I know the ring exists, though, because I saw a PICTURE, really, there were two pictures, taken right before Michael's wedding.  So, the ring was lost, to me, for 15 years.

Maya Video Products, Inc. Barco video projectors and rooms drawings, from 1990, ORDER FORM


I put together this form, after 2003.  I never received any orders.  Today, I make the drawings, 1990 original line drawings and 1998 colored line drawings, available, to be ordered.  These drawings were printed, from the 1990 Autocad files, at AT&T Network Systems, Department of Engineering, in 1994.

Washington University response



The letter states that I was "employed on a temporary basis n the Department of Radiology".  The truth of that matter is that I was invited for one day, to demo Alias PowerAnimator software to grantseekers from the University of Pennsylvania, in July, 1991.  The letter goes on, however, and states, "from August 15th to October 31, 1991 at the hourly rate of $12.50."  This is not true at all.  I was paid for the one day, at a flat rate of $150.00.  I was never hired beyond that one day.  I was given a parking permit, though, which I never used.  I was given a promise of a job in the future, possibly, and, someone would contact me.  At that time, I was living with relatives, and, during August, September and October, I moved from an apartment in O'Fallon to a house, neither of which addresses were owned or rented by me.  I never heard from anyone ever again, and, this is true.
I wrote letters, though, in 1992, 1999 and 2000.   I never received any money.
