     I'm the last of my line. The only other relatives I know of are out   
   of state, older than I am, and can't travel anymore.

     My late father was the victim of that. Sadly, by the time it is   
   discovered, it's usually too late to do anything.   
      
    AI> Wherever Joe is now, sitting in his armchair or looking down on

     One of the echoes other longtime members, Nancy Backus, lost her   
   battle with stomach cancer awhile back. She was very active in the

     One day, I had the tagline "I took an IQ test, and the results were

   at all...I got a good laugh out of it".
