Bob, I said that I would let you know if I heard from Kathy. I have. I hope that she has individually contacted you also and your situation has been resolved to your satisfaction. My situation is not satisfactory. As of today, we have terminated our agreement and it is to be seen if I will indeed receive a refund. She was not honest with me on a number of things. So, I wanted to let you know and give you a headsup on her questionable integrity. Hopefully you will be spared what I have been put through all week. I wish you a better result.
