OK Don, I'm not vocal on the site if at all. But been around since you convinced me to join quite a while back. I read a lot of messages but this one seems to be important to some younger members. But after reading this post and just recently reading about these in the Team USA Magazine that were in my wife's doctors office while she was getting a mammogram made me think. Thanks for posting something that most people will never hear of let alone no exists...
