This is Nancy Sledd again.  A few days ago, I accidentally sent the message
below to the entire list instead of to just my friend, Vonnie.  Vonnie and I
work together and have been through an introduction to the Crossroad Cafe
program--loved it.   I wanted her to see what the other person had put on
the listserv.  When I forward a message, if it is not important (to me or
her) who wrote it, I erase all the info that is not relevant for us.
Therefore, the first two lines below are from me and the next several lines
are from someone else who wrote to the list.  I am so sorry for the
confusion.  Since I sent this message to the entire list, I have received
several pieces of mail from others in support of Crossroads Cafe.  I am not
against Crossroads Cafe--in fact, I want the program carried on the Kentucky
Education Television (K.E.T.).  HOpefully that will happen soon.  So, sorry
for the misunderstanding.  Guess it is best that I go back to my typical
"lurking"....  Nancy
