Re: Spreading Awareness idea...

The first article below,

(www.care-givers.com/DBArticles/pages/viewarticle.php?id=730) was

copied (without my permission) from either this site or the

LBD_caringspouses site. If you go look in the Files under the CCC

Papers, you'll find it there. It was posted there by me back in May,

2003. It was written by Shirley Lay, at that time, a member of this

group, and contributed to me to use as one (of ten) papers that I, Jan

Childress and (excuse me, I'm having a senior moment and

can't recall her last name) distributed at the Caring Counts

Conference (hence CCC) in Sacramento, California in May, 2003. Another

CCC paper was contributed by Sandie. Still others were adapted emails

from this site.

Shirley had adapted her story from an earlier one along the same lines

by someone else who may have also been a member of this group.

BTW, served as the model hood ornament on Sandie's F150 at

the original 2003 LBD Caregiver Gathering in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

A year or two ago, Shirley was back on this site for a while. Don't

know if she's still around or not.

Enough rambling for now...
