Q: I am trying to find out if Jack Radisich (senior) not has past away. In 1992 I know he wasn't doing very well. In 1992 he was the President of Redden Net Co. Inc. His wife's name is Pat & his sons names are Jack (Jackie), Steve & Chris. I used to work for them & I am going to be coming back to town & wanted to contact them, but if Jack has passed then I just wanted to be aware of that. I haven't heard from him since 1992.

Q: I cannot figure out how to change my username. The FAQ on this issue has a link that says it will take you to something like the Member Form, where you are supposed to enter your old user name and e-mail address. But when you click on that link like suggested, there's no place to enter that information. I've spent about 15 frustrating mins going back and forth and all around trying to figure it out. Should be a better way ... Help pls.

Q: where is there any notation of what day of the week it is on the news spread?
Answered 09/23/08 14:47:27 by Julie Shirley

Q: I registered to post a comment - which I can now do. However, for some reason I can not read other folks comments. It always reads zero "0" comments when I know there are posts? Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks1
Answered 09/23/08 14:42:07 by Julie Shirley
A: The commenting software takes a bit longer to load than the rest of the site, so waiting a bit will help. But if you're not seeing comments, it's possible you're running a script blocker on your computer that's blocking the comments.Submitted by elizabeth from bellingham
