  • Do you have archives of “Meet Our Members?” I am especially interested in the column you did on Bruce McGhie a few months ago since he is also from CT.

    I get the hard copy of Action. It continues to be a great publication. I notice you had three pictures by Bruce in the publication. Do you have all three pictures in electronic format?

    Thank you for your help. Jayne

    Jayne,

    Please e-mail me at action@unitedspinal.org, tell me what you need and I will be happy to send it to you.

    Glad you enjoy Action and the member spotlights!

    Best wishes,
