Dorothy, You are always an inspiration to me! Thank you so much. I am very appreciative to David also. When I read all the supportive letters it is so nice and helps me to overlook the nasty ones. Though in a way I can understand how this woman is viewing my work as advertising. Because my goal eventually is to be good enough to offer this service on my website where I would charge for it. But I am definitely not to that point yet! My best critic is my Mother! I show her my work and she tells me where I need improvement! :-) One of these days I will get as good as her. I HOPE!

You have been so generous and helpful to so many people and here comes along a snake in the grass. Unfortunately there are such people in this world but they don't make any friends that way. Praise David Samuelsen, list manager for nullifying Sharon Rhodes complaint. He is a thinking man and a sensible one. What a privilege it has been for us to take advantage of your generous offer. I thank you again and appreciate everything you are doing. We will just mark this Sharon Rhodes off as you-know-what. Dorothy C.
