Message-ID: <4AC47E6C0200005A00000404@smtp-gw.seq.org> Hello, I received the email below from Mr. Kolling who was unable to unsubscribe from listserv. I'm hoping you can take care of this for him. Thank you in advance, Lori ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi Lori, I called you yesterday about my attempt to unsubscribe from several Sequoia-related list serves. I've attempted twice (once with Kathy Bassett's assistance) to unsubscribe from the Sequoia boosters and another list serve ("support etc"). I believe that might now be taken care of. However, I attempted to unsubscribe from the mailman list serve and I was bounced. Could I enlist your help in getting my email address (kollingg@juno.com) unsubscribed from the 3-4 Sequoia HS-related list serves, please? Many thanks. I enjoy reading these, but my son has graduated and I no longer am compelled to read the updates, which by the way were very helpful in the past. Thanks!
