This is great. This has to be the best email group in cyber land.
Thank you everyone,
Patty
Couldn't agree more. I get about 300 emails a day with business, interest

friendly group. It must be because we are Campbells, God's chosen ones (said
with a wee bit of a laugh).
regards to all
Bruce Campbell
