FYI, based on the discussion below, I created an ROPS interest group page on 
the OPS website. Any community member can join (any current OPS member type: 
active, HLM, retired member, student, etc.).

Here’s the link: http://www.opsweb.org/members/group.aspx?id=120423 To join, 
just lick Join Group (after logging in to the OPS website) and you are in.

Right now it’s a blank canvas with no content. You ROPS can turn it into 
whatever you’d like it to be.  I can add any of you as a group admin so you can 
customize the page & content. Any takers? John? Richard? Marshall? Ditte? Just 
let me know.

Have fun in retirement!

On naming credit this is what I was referring to: Wow, we're dropping like 
flies.
>> Maybe we should create an ROPS (R= Retired) category.<<

About hair dye.   One patient told me I was a young man with an old beard.  
Another told me my hair wasn't turning white the right way.  She noted that my 
hair was turning white from the sides  going towards the center of my scalp.  
The way it was supposed to go was from the center out to the sides....I didn't 
know that.  To think my hair was turning white the wrong way.....
