Hello all - I did make some changes, though right now I am using WYSIWYG format... will have to venture in the html world, I suppose, and try what Billie has suggested. Haven't used any code since college, so am a little rusty. Guess its time to get a book or something... :-) Will get back to it later this evening. Once again, my thanks.

Ask me how to make a donation to any of the major, national organizations raising money to find a cure. Support me as I walk, snowshoe, snowboard, and anything else I can do to end this. I want my daughter to read about it in a history book - not in her medical chart. *
