Note from Mr. Corby:

Recently, the cost of maintaining these pages has started to "bite" into my budget. I'm not complaining, mind you, the amount of self-satisfaction that I get from your comments about the usefulness of this site, is well worth the money. One way or another, I will continue to maintain and update these pages for as long as I draw breath. If any of you would like to help by making a small non tax deductible donation (God Bless You,) I have a PayPal account (account name "cecorby@cecorby.com".) If you would prefer to mail your support to us please mail to: EmergencyMedicalEd, Aptdo. 714 - 4100, Grecia, Alajuela, Costa Rica, Central America. Please help me keep this site going. Thanks!
