Carole -- Did they tell you exactly why they are eliminating your job? Only you know your level of strength and stamina to fight this. Fight it if you can not only for yourself but because it will help others in the long run. If you can't, that is very understandable. Remember, you MUST do what is best for you and your health in the long run. Peace, the other Carole spouse of Ted (most of you know our current situation) -----Original Message----- From: Carole Hercun <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Friday, January 04, 2002 5:18 AM Subject: S.O.S. / Job Elimination >Dear Friends: >The members of PIEN are some off the smartest, most >well-informed people I know.
