Frank, you give me hope, at least there are a few of your kind left. Carol A. Gilbert, Bay Area Agency on Aging Program Consultant

Thanks so much for your help. You have saved us thousands of dollars a year. Joni Godbout

Thank you Frank for your continuing courageous coverage of the Social Security "reform" swindle the Bush administration is trying to pawn off on Americans, both young and old. Claude M. Gruener, Austin Ink

I so admire your advocacy and dedication. Your newsletters are wonderful because they look at all aspects of aging; really convey your commitment to seeing seniors as whole people. The other reason you are so successful is because you represent yourselves as regular people, nor do you print outside "expert" clinical opinions. Jeanne Naft

Thanks for keeping us seniors up to date and informed on the latest issues. Al Legg

Thanks for your vigilance. I enjoy your newsletters immensely and have recommended it to others! Jean Anderson

You do great work. Don't ever let anyone dissuade you from doing so! Dave Schreffler

Thank you so much for taking the time to share both sides. I find it impossible to make an informed decision when only one side is available. I know some people like only one side, but then again they're lazy. Keep up the excellent work. Mike McVicker

Thank you Frank for your continuing courageous coverage of the Social Security "reform" swindle the Bush administration is trying to pawn off on Americans, both young and old. Claude M. Gruener

The work you do is very important, more significant than you imagine in terms of helping seniors make sense of the world. The reframed sensibilities for the average person that you shape is the key to getting things back on track. It is the lens through which they make their political choices. Reed Boughton

Your web site is awesome. Portia Shivers

I have just been a subscriber for a few days now but it seems to me you are doing a great service to a great many seniors. I have already received more information from your news letter than from any other single source. Keep up the good work of keeping us all informed so we can at least have a better chance of making the right decision at the right time for the right reasons. Bob Hudspeth

Now this wonderful article comes along ... an its all clear, easy to read and understand ... even my brain feels relaxed now. Your writing this article on the Drug Plan is like therapy to me. No kidding, you touched all bases as you rounded them because you hit a home run with this one baby!! Thank you ....you are a real friend. Dean Mattila

Your column has often spoken the "truth to power", and I know you have suffered as a result. I appreciate your courage. I know you knew exactly what the consequences would be. I think it was Patrick Henry who said "Let them call me radical, and well, for I would rather be called radical than make a whore of my soul". Frank, you are nobody's whore, and for that, the world and the fortunes of seniors everywhere are better for it. Mike Dougherty Field Operations Specialist Area Agency on Aging of Southwestern Illinois Assistance. Advocacy. Answers on Aging.

Thank you for your continuing efforts to make wrong things a little righter...and/or a tad brighter! WRITE ON! Joe Klock, Syndicated Columnist

The absolute best web site I have found that really does offer unbelievably good advise on the subject of Medicare etc. is Frank Kaiser's Suddenly Senior. And there is no hustling as is the case with any and all AARP sites. Thank you and yes, I do look at your sponsors information. Tom Wayne

Thanks for ALL YOU DO to keep the people informed and help us keep up with "who is doing what" in the world of Medications. GOD BLESS YOU! Mary Burns

Your newsletter helps to remind me that there is sanity still existing somewhere in the world. Thanks for being there. Bertha Barlow

A thousand thank yous for your newsletter and prescription coverage updates. You stand alone on this critical advocacy. God bless you! Dennis G. Eksten

You have enriched my e-mail life, and reminded me that older can indeed mean wiser, and more irascible, cantankerous, humorous, and loving. I continue to enjoy your writings. Sometimes, we need to read what doesn't reflect perfectly our own opinions. Lil Gluckstern

Thanks for being there for all of us old geezers and geezerettes. You are a wonderful source of information on a lot of different subjects for the aged. Grandpa Dee Desaire
