Kelly,
I am sorry. I looked at that post again and I found your name in the
context but at the top of the letter it has the name of Sybil Montgomery on
it. Does this name mean anything to you? When I sent the two letters out I
directed them to that person, whom I thought sent them. Someone else
pointed out it may be the result of the many virus's going around and the
person doing it may not even realize it. I am posting this to the mail list
so all may see that I am truly sorry. I really am doing only what I am
supposed to do. I will chill (as the kids say (:>) for a while and hope it
goes away.
