Google has implemented a new feature wherein a person can type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and receive the complete listing for that number (name, address, etc.) along with a map to the house, with the house prominently identified with a red star supplied by something called Mapquest. This is not a hoax, as we tested it with our own information and that of the one parent still living...also that of several friends. Theoretically, it is possible to block the information by clicking on the telephone icon beside one's name. It supposedly takes about 48 hours to be completed. We intend to check frequently in the future to make sure that our data stays blocked! This is a very scary situation, as we see it, with alarming safety concerns. We do urge everyone to check the iformation for themselves and any loved ones...and to pass on the information to others to do the same. Bill and Gayle Cloud

Yep.... Gayle is right. It just worked for me.
