I am sure she is being taken advantage of and I am sure that the
daughter is going to have to sort it out eventually. I am alsosure that opposition fromyou will only make the old deaar dig her toesin further. I think she was really telling you that this cute boy was taken with her which of course a good salesman on the scam will do.Poor June.

Re:Nautikos -- would a call to her daughter be appropriate?
We actually had two different conversations, Naut. Jean also told her this sounds like a scam. But June has just dug in her heels. I thought of calling her daughter, but all I know is that she lives in some suburb of Chicago. I don't have her number. Jean did tell June she better think it over about whether to trust her friends or some cute guy who's trying to get her to sign something she doesn't understand.

I sure hope that guy isn't taking advantage of June...And I'm sure you hate to meddle as much as I do, but would a call to her daughter be appropriate?

That reminds me--I have a lot of mail to go through and process that I keep putting off. I guess I'd better go do that.

Very nice.
That was well written and I could empathize with the older woman.
Great!

It's good you could reassure the poor old lady.
Reading between the lines I get the impression that a lot of people in the States are very nervous and suspicious about President Obama's policies. In general people over here admire him and consider that he has made a really good start. http://politiken.dk/newsinenglish/article831904.ece
