Re: jen ? update

[Guest guest]

Jenn, I'm glad you are getting some help now... What is the name of the

NC, TN (Closer than many at least)...

Between Nashville and Knoxville, but closer to Nashville in regards to

driving time (about an hour to Nashville and an hour and 45 minutes to

Knoxville).

Hang in there. Not much longer now,
