I was able to get Don to a couple of support group meetings, but he said it just depressed him. I continued to go, but rarely got him to go. Of course it was at noon which is not the best time of day for a rancher to go to town!!! It was even held at a nursing home so all the patients could attend. I believe that the group has quit sometime during the last year.
