Fwd: increase in cognitive awarness

January 1, 2004

Hi Gail, that is great to hear of some good news. Is there anything

else that they have done different, like change of diet or anything?

All the best to you in the New Year and to everyone else while I'm

writing this. Maybe this will be a year of positives. One can only stay

positive hey?
