Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Grandmom Bev, I really appreciate all of your insight and assistance. Morgen and Emerson are going in for a clean out in December and while I was explaining this to Mo's teacher she asked for some more info that her first grade class could see to better understand, so with that said, any extra tapes, wash buttons, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I would be happy to reimburse you for any expense. Let me know. Our address is as follows Morgen and Emerson Jaques 7 N. 600 W. Blackfoot, ID 83221 Thanks in advance! kris Re: B.
