Thanks flutters for posting all this.

Do you have any idea what happened to Mother Abigail? She had started the SARS threads before there was even a name and she has now disappeared.

[flutters]

Your welcome everyone. It somehow turned into a mission. lol

Here is Mother Abagail's last post on March 23rd:

It appears I have worked myself out of a job.

Many of you are now posting threads on SARS, and the information seems to be flowing in an accurate and timely manner.

So I will take this opportunity to thank all the posters for their hard work and diligence.

NOTE: I have tried to answer all the e-mails, except of course, the many that asked for personal information. Hope I was of some help

Stay Strong, Come and see me and - bring all your nice friends.......

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Thank you Flutters for the great resources in the threads posted here!

[stlnative]

here is another FR Post, linking to The Mystery of SARS from 5/5/03 issue of Newsweek

[I'll be your Huckleberry]

Thank you for digging out MA's last post. My wife and I are/were a bit in awe of her knowledge and kindness.

Every time I read the title of MA's first thread I get a little shiver up my spine. She started and ended that thread with information on Ebola?

Do you have any idea who she really was?

Thanks again
