Angela:

Again, congratulations on your success! I have been in life turmoil mode,
have not been updating pages often ... will add this information, and I have
forwarded your note on to some other activists who I am sure will be interested.

Thank you for your diligence; your success is a great reward for all.

>Well you'll be pleased to know that last week the antennae was disconnected.
>Industry Canada wrote a letter stating that the cellular carrier had chosen
