I hope to have by the end of August a packet of material that can be  
used to beat up on (oops I mean nicely convince [grin]) rehab centers or 
hospitals to jump on the bandwagon.  By that time I should have at least 
three here in NE Ohio active, and with letters of support from them,  
copies of radio talk shows, a brochure we're putting together, and a  
couple of possible block buster suprises, it should make a convincing  
story.  So, hang in there.... assistance is on the way.
