You know, Becky, what you're working towards is so needed. It's far more than a source for information. How many times have I "read" the information but gained comfort from hearing it from several survivor warriors. The information may be available in other places, but it's like reading a comparison of cars. It just means so much more when someone has owned the car you are researching. I have read the same information in other places, but I never put them into action until I checked it out with the warriors! It's about trust and I trust the warriors! It's so much more than knowledge! Thank you for your willingness to do this! I'll hand out stuff at STOH (CTRC) in San Antonio when the time comes. I'll ask Dr. K to smooth the road for me though I don't think it will be necessary! They are so patient centered there! STOH is getting ready to be a separate enity (is that spelled rt) in a new building. They have us (STOH) on their web site. ma
