well, I made the jump and started in on the "Disability Adventure Course." I'm doing this through the California State Teachers Retirement System. Since most people go through SSI, I'll keep you posted on how the process is going. All I can say is that now that the decision is made it's like a load has been taken off my back. Now my family and I can go forward with this next stage of our life. I'll be in touch. scott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
