Dear Barb, Further to Claudia's response, there is a wonderful couple in Sacramento--Clarence and Betty Youngren. Clarence and Betty run the NPF Chapter there and work with all the local support groups. They'll be able to tell your friend all about what's going on in the area. They can be reached at 9l6-489-2202. Thanks for your caring in this and all things, Barb! Kim Seidman West Coast Director, NPF
