  Hi there Tom...
I also sent this same message via Netmail to you directly.  Let's
see which one you get.

So glad to read your message.  I'm sorry to hear about your
father-in-law.  Sometimes I think A.L.S. is harder on those it
leaves behind, namely the surviving family members.  I'm 35 years
old and because of my wifes inability to cope, I was abandoned in
an extended care hospital.  She has in affect divorced me and has
forgotten me in here.  I think I'm coping with this disease much
better than her.  Her way of coping is not thinking about it.
I'm very glad to hear you are interested in providing
information.  That's a big start.  I'm compiling names of
patients now and will be working on writing a questionnaire to
gather data.  Can you kindly send me your mailing address?

In regards to your request about reaching me outside of Fidonet,
I'm afraid thats the only network which I carry.

        Ciao!
        Scott
