Hello to all:
I am not sure exactly where I received the following
questionnaire from. (great grammar <g>). What I do
know is how difficult it is to complete a questionnaire
type study. This step is nearly the end of nearly eight
years of study. I'm sure she would be appreciative of
all of the help we might be able to provide. She has
no idea I'm doing this but I do know the difficulty of
the task. If you can spare the time, please fill it out
and forward it to her.
Thanks
Rog
