Firstly, apologies to Gary and the list, as this was supposed to be
private. Sometimes when I "reply" to a post that has multiple responses to
the same subject, even after carefully typing the address of the recipient,
Earthlink sends the response to the first post address in my mailbox. That
is what happened here. I actually had to cut and paste this message into
this reply box because I received another post while typing and Earthlink's
many "blockers" sent it to the wrong place, effectively changing my
header. Since this was meant to be a private conversation, I won't go into
what was said. Suffice it to say though that Gary has always been most
helpful when I have contacted him for assistance in acquiring books, music,
etc. I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to recommend him to anyone if they
need his help. And I hope to continue asking him for assistance when I
need it. Thanks Gary, for all you do for folks, and I apologize for the
public comments.

Nancy
