Yes, this could be done. Maybe we should start writting again. Ttruth is that a fan helps, even if it just stirs up hot air. Some one makes free standing room air conditioners. I started looking through catelogs when I saw Marvins post. I haven't found it yet but will keep looking. they may be out of them. I should have bought one when I saw it. I don't know what will happen, but in addition to the heat we will all be paying more for food net year. I have to keep in mind, that things could be worse. Marvin I will keep looking. I cannot promise any results, just a big effort. Nita KEn Becker wrote: > Marvin, I believe that we are entitled to have fans, air conditioning, and > heat, as needed, AND research for PD.
