I have had very good response from Ross Downing. I think that he is not doing the job he had in the DFHS. I have not received a notice to renew so maybe the Society is not still going. I understand how you feel after he did not answer your letter. I would feel the same way. Does anyone know if the Society is still going. They were have problems getting all their Offices filled.
