I agree, I read all the post everyday and I don't comment unless there is something about my family. My surnames are Wilhite, Fleishman, Broyles, Yeager and Holt. I am not sure if my Holt's are the same as those here. Charles Holt is one of the older ones. I am not an english teacher and my grammar is bad. I am a nurse and spent my years with the sick. We can all find faults with other's but let's just looks at our own fault's and leave those of us alone who doesn't care a thing about going back to school in our senior years.LOL Marilyn, I know you post often. I enjoy reading what you have to say as, I do all of the other contributor's. Frances In a message dated 12/19/2008 2:45:35 A.M.
