Alan, Thanks for the update on Baker. i've said we need to have one person with PDvisit every Senator and Congressman to pass the Udall Bill. Let me amend that to say "or 10 Carol Waltons". I just today received the NPF's Sidney Dorros Award at a ceremony featuring Bill Langston as Guest speaker. Let me be the first to nominate Carol for next years award. Please talk that up in California and let's muster the testimonials necessary. Its a little early but lets get started anyhow. I received this years award in recognition of my efforts but my nomination was championed by several local support group leaders I work with (Margie, Carol and Harry) I would think that support should exist out there from what I've heard of her activities. If you talk to Bev Steward tell her I said hello
