Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Lea, Are you still in touch with Jacquelyn? I used to write her, but like so many of the women I have been in touch with in the last 7 years, they simply disappear. I have known literally hundreds of women in this issue, and I have lost touch with most of them. It's so sad. If you know how she is doing, please let me know!
