CELEBRATING AND HONORING ANNIVERSARIES:
Dear Diane 
Imagine getting a cake and a card signed by all your co-workers
congratulating you on your wedding anniversary. Well, today one of Jim
Sheridan's co-workers is getting such a gift.  I can't wait to hear about
the response. Just imagine if we all did that?
Stan Posthumus 

 Yes, we should all be doing this - we do it for birthdays - what a strong
message it would be if we'd all start doing this for wedding anniversaries
of family members, friends, co-workers. Another great idea for the community
marriage ideas handbook.  - diane

QUESTION: 
> Do we know how many of the 19 terrorists who were on the planes on September
