This morning I received the following personal note from Lori:

My response to her MSN account bounced (mailbox not found), which may
account for why Ms. Keeler hasn't heard from anyone on this.  Nonetheless,
here is my response to her, so she can't say no one responded:

If anyone else from MDOsprey has thoughts to share with Ms. Keeler, best to
post them here since her e-mail address is not working.
