Reply #18: I was then, as well. I went to mine, but didn't pay much attention, either [View All]

I have looked for info on this on the internet, but, so far, have only found one article I thought was worth passing on. That's the only reason I finally asked for help, which I haven't done before on DU, but I have tried to help others, before, and know what an incredible brain trust we share here. And this is a really good friend who wouldn't ask for help without a good reason. I share his concerns, though it doesn't affect me, personally. I just cannot imagine my small town becoming the next one in the national headlines. Thanks for your concern. It's an interesting question and I have really appreciated all the advice and responses. It was much more than I expected, especially at this hour.:-)
