Just want you all to know that I am so glad to have joined this group.

I learned so much just these last 3 days and find you all

compassioned, understanding and helpful. Aren't we lucky to have this

format available to us to interacting and for exchange of

experiences. Wishing all a Happy New Year.

N.
