Dear Dr. Bobby ( GRIN),

            Spelling as well as addressing people with the correct title -
is optional these days - Therefore feel free to write from the heart - which
I am afraid has the best of intentions but is a bit weak on grammer and
spelling in all of us. We love your heart and we can hopefully figure the
rest out.

                                     Hugs
                                       Trisha
