Larry, thank you!!!!

You always put things so eloquently. My reaction was to
think "humbug", stop reading, and move the post to the file I keep
for posts from this group.

(I keep posts from all the groups I belong to so that if someone
mentions something at a later that I don't remember and have no
bleepin idea what they are talking about I can find it again and join
the discussion)

kathy

ps. when you can, signon to Child Survivors and at least say hello.
there are alot of people over there who miss you bunches and worry
about you because you are gone. (I know, you belong to too many
groups and dial up sucks, but it would do a couple of people a woprld
of good to hear from you)
