[TheForge] [Fwd: Re: TheForge Digest, Vol 56, Issue 17]

[Cindy and James]

Andy,
I sent you an email last evening about the house with some info on my 
daughter & son in law who will be moving to Tampa soon and are currently 
looking to buy there.  If you did not receive my email, please respond 
here and give me some way to get their contact info to you that is a 
little less "public" than this forum.
Thanks,
James Allcorn
