Re: Re: More on the success of thos who have fanatical adherance

[Guest guest]

Mimi, my apologies if I have missed some applicable email, but is there some

recent information concerning Turet health? I fully agree that

is a true heroine and I will always be thankful to her for the long

Island email list. I would also like to add a special thanks to you for all

of your dedication and efforts for this email list. Best wishes, Sam.
