Michelle...
Please, please keep me posted on your progress with Met. Please feel free to
email me directly at lpd22@gis.net. I am asking mainly because I see my new RE on
June 30th and I'm getting pretty nervous. If she feels Met can truly help me, I
will (without a doubt) give it a try....but, I want to know what to expect.
Thanks you so very, very much!!
:-) Alexis
