<html><body> <DIV>Hi  Ron,</DIV> <DIV>I wonder if someone will get the card that I stuck in the door, and if so what they'll do with it.  As I mentioned I get a lot of opportunities to pass out a card, but no calls from them.  I'm working on other ideas to get my name out there as well.  </DIV> <DIV>Marshall</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- From: <ronmay_rpt@bellsouth.net> > Good Try Marshall and don't give up. > > Sorry you didn't have any good luck, however you may get a surprise and a call > from someone at the churchs.
