Hi, Dale, First, thanks for the list of New York support groups. Second, I'm very interested in these figures and wonder if you can give me the sources. I'm always looking for reliable figures to use in proposals, etc., and I don't want to be paranoid about using them, BUT I learned long ago to check out sources. I guess it's the research environment around here!!!!! Carole Cassidy At 05:32 AM 7/28/98 EDT, you wrote: >1.
