Pamela, this is ludicrous! 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.
