Dear List Friends: This is to thank those of you out there with the time, perseverance, courage, inclination and capacity to be activists for our cause. When I read the posts by Dale, Greg, Karen, Hilary, Ivan, Camilla, & so many more of you who give your personal best to keep on fighting the good fight, I am indeed in humble respect for all you do. Don, your messages to the lists and your maps are the heart & soul of us all! Janet, Dennis, Gina & Barb, your gifts are so special; you write so candidly about everything that touches us & aare always there to catch us if the tightrope becomes too wobbly. Speaking of special gifts-here is an endorsement for Tom Kelly, He is blessed with a wonderful ability to speak from the heart. ( had the privilege of hearing him address the congregation of his church and it was quite the best presentation I had heard.) I must close for now. Thanks everyone, -- --- Joan Snyder (47/10/8) <[log in to unmask]> Peoria,IL "Do or do not. There is no try." Yoda http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/snyder/page1.htm
