I found this on a printed page in some decluttering I was doing several years after I received it. The date was Oct. 13, 2002. It had been sent from my best friend & adopted sister Janene. I had thrown the page away THREE times the week I posted it. It just kept resurfacing. I put it on my Yahoo! Geocities web site & only then did the page go to the landfill.
