Ivan.... I think it's wonderful that you' ve been able to get as much support as you have in this issue. You're a past master at the art of making the most of the "Squeaky wheel getting the oil," And hopefully with this problem you'll come up a winner! I am VERYy interested in the Speech Booster you mentioned, as I'm having a terrible time being heard (since my body now appaently absorbs the collagen within 12 hours of having the collagen injected into my vocal cords I find the loss of the ability to vocally communicate with the world about me is literally changing my whole personality and is causing me a LOT of pain and frusfration! If you can get me a phone number or email addres, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks,, and again, the best of luck in your taxes problem Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Ivan M Suzman <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Saturday, October 30, 1999 1:06 PM Subject: PWP Rights -Battle Against Foreclosure >^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) > Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) > Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 62 deg.
