Re: OT-BIO Sally Ann Keller

Christine,
  
Thank you for the "Welcome" and the invitation to join you at your show. I
live on the New Jersey border, near Nyack NY. Normally I would make the
trip up to Poughkeepsie for the show, but, at this time I am tied down
caring for my Mom who had a fall and broke her hip. I will probably join
your club since it is the closest to me. I will try to keep in touch. Thank
you again and good luck with your show.

Sally
