Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hi Ladies, I would like to suggest that we all get on another 'writing campaign' with this source --- and see if we can make an impact! I already know from past experiences over the years, that it will probably take every single one of us, plus all our friends & relatives, writing/contacting the Discovery Channel to achieve our goal! " Let's roll " , friends!!!
