Re: [LM_NET] SHARE: Follow-up to Patricia Polacco & McGraw Hill / IRA cancellation

[kaTe <cag02@EARTHLINK.NET>]

it is always so helpful when referencing a web page for everyone to find 
information on, to give an exact URL where the information can be found, 
if at all possible.  sometimes it is hard to find the exact page the 
information is on when we only get the URL for the main page of the web 
address.

the full text of this can be found here:

http://www.patriciapolacco.com/letter.html

scroll down to see the update.  I wish they had dated it for everyone 
too so we could keep up.

thanks.........
