Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 , Thanks for the info on Angel Flight and Miami. My orthotist's name is Rob Kistenberg. Ever heard of him? Just want to make sure it's not the same guy you had for your son's starband. It's a small world sometimes ya know? Thanks, Tris --- In Plagiocephaly , " B.
