Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Thanks. You would think I've been through this recently. ) Actually it hasn't been that long ago that I was doing the same thing. I still have all of my paperwork, just in case any one decides I don't qualify. So, Reba, if ya need any help filling out the paperwork, just holler. I am only an email away.
