That could well be a result of my inability to follow directions very well. However, that being said, I did just get off the phone with a wonderful woman at the capital. Her name is Juanita and she suggested that if anybody in our list or your friends and other pals need some help signing up to speak on Monday the 22nd, you could call her. So the woman you want to talk to is: Juanita and her phone number is 30388663521.
