March 7-13, 2019 Volume 17 Issue 10 No Paper Next Week Sorry folks but I need a week off. I will be travelling home with a nurse, a technician, my Mom and my sister to set up my dialysis ‘ward’ in my house and will not have the energy to focus on The Valley Peak. So my best advice is to read this issue really slow or several times during the next 2 weeks. All current client ad contracts will be extended by one week. Thanks for being kind and understanding.
