Hi Mike,

Take Jim Booth's advice ASAP. I'm not sure you remember me but you met me and my son Alan at one on the Advisor conferences many moons ago. Phoenix I believe. And you later defended one of my assertions on one of the forums. I have always respected your advice and admired your even handed approach to things and I have more than once shown your eloquent writing to my wife who, even in her early sixties, is an aspiring writer.

We have a daughter age 40 who is a recovered alcoholic and addict. Has been clean now for 16 years and is doing very well. Once we had very little hope but thanks to AA and NA and a lot of prayer, there is a happy ending.

Get to those meetings my friend!

Ken
