Thank you, **AnimistDragon**! The guys are indeed looking “out of the box” for work, so no one should hesitate to send anything they hear about for fear that it isn’t in their field.

And 😃 **ccwaterback** …I guess you COULD say both of them have LOTS of experience in that regard!

Total donations $4245.00 and a reminder that your contributions are giving them some time to accomplish their main goal, which is to FIND A JOB…so thank you so much for all your help, and please keep those job links especially coming!

If you haven’t heard from me and you sent something in the mail or by PayPal that should have arrived by now, please email me…a few of your email addresses have “bounced” and I don’t want you to feel your efforts weren’t appreciated, or worry about whether they arrived.

My thanks, and theirs…

Cheri

**DrMatrix** and **Cajun Man** - just have yourselves a Happy New Year, and a much better 2004 than 2003 was!

That’s all
