Arthur, Thank you for being the first person on the list to suggest some form of action against the NPF if it continues to mistreat me and ignore my pleas for compensation. My Dad, a Floridian, now has STOPPED all contributions to the NPF. BElow I show another $1200 of expenses related to the trip to Miami, plus I am asking for 1200 more for the pain and suffering the NPF has caused me. I live on $804/month(SSDI 664 plus 140 other sources) Beyond the basic $1000 you calculated that I should get from the NPF, are the following: the airfares were much higher (add $400) when they were booked; I had to pay the CNA's salary (400); I had to pay for house-sitting and pet care;(150); there were pre-Miami and post-Miami travel expenses (taxis, busses)(50); there were legal expenses to get Mr. Lemieux released from usual duties (200) so that I could have his services for a trip to Miami from Maine. The NPF can be phoned at 305 - 547 - 6666. I cana be reached at 207 797-8488. Ivan Suzman
