Re: Names of programs

Hi Ladonna

That's a terrific story. I'm hoping you are also taking great pains to 
ensure she is aware of the myriad ways that less than desirable 
individuals will try to coax her into giving her money and information 
away.

I really hope there is a special place in hell for folks that prey on 
the elderly that way.

Cheers... Rick :)
