Dear List Members, Have not read any of your responses except for Maryhelen's and Joan's which were wonderfully supportive. Just came home from my work as a teacher again and let my fingers do more walking. Turns out that it was quite therapeutic for me. Some of you could have a friend like mine. Or, if you feel like doing some therapeutic work, you could easily write your own, from either your point of view or from a friend's. We want to inundate with mail those who hold the purse-strings in Washington and we want to keep it going until they cry "Uncle Sam WANTS YOU TO HAVE THE MONEY!" Enough! Prepare for a long one this time. Barb Brock 53, cg Art 56/ 1+ years
