Joan, thanks for sharing your experience on the campaign trail. I, too, was blown away by Barach Obama's speech at the DNC - he brought me to tears. His greatest gift is his ability to be 'real' and to talk from his heart to the hearts of his listeners. I couldn't believe that he was only a State senator in Illinois - he is sure to go places and I'm hope that you will take it upon yourself to personally report his progress to this forum. ------------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 65/25) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
