^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/10 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 27 deg. F brisk and bright, blue shadows on the snow *********************************************************** Dear Jennifer: I hope you willt re-post your SURVEY to the List, with the title, " Pallidotomy Survey." The questions you asked are very important, but I'm afraid they'll be lost to us with your current title/. I would also recommend numbering them from 1 to 10. Good Luck!
