[StBernard] LRA cost me $24,000 & called to say "I was lucky."

[Westley Annis]

I apologize for not responding before now...Life gets in the way sometimes,
doesn't it?

I wish you had included your name, but no biggie. 

I'd love to talk to you off-list so that we don't clog the list with
messages that don't have anything to do with St. Bernard.

My e-mail is: admanaecia at hotmail.com

Thanks!
