[nfbwatlk] Vicki Blazon

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I am wondering how Vicki is doing.  She sure has had a difficult life.  She 
was my penpal a long time ago!
Thanks
Lauren

advice from my cats: "meow when you feel like it."
The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be
understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.
