Re: In Casts Again

[Guest guest]

,

Ask about the narrow (N) Markell shoes. And email Jay Markell to see if

you can get a pair of the small ones with the hole already cut in the

back. I would hope they're available by now, he mentioned them months

ago. info@... is the addy you can use to get to Jay.

It's not really that puzzling... It's more common than you'd think

although the docs for some reason seem to act like it's rare.

Glad to hear things look good otherwise.
