P=3E<FONT face=3DVerdana size=3D2=3E* Just a comment regarding your foundati=
on and newsletters=2E=A0 They are great - right on the mark and very much ne=
eded in todays society=2E=A0 I note you have included single fathers in the =
newsletter=2E=A0 How about including mention of step-fathers=3F=A0 Whilst a =
step dad can never (and should never) take the place of a child's real dad, =
the sad reality is that many children have biological fathers who have no in=
terest in their lives, or live so far away that they simply cannot be involv=
ed on a regular basis=2E=A0 Maybe your foundation can change that but perhap=
s the reality is that step dads will always have a 'fathering role' of sorts=
 in children's lives=2E=A0 I believe step fathers are an integral part of th=
e overall fatherhood equation in this country, and I think it would make you=
r newsletter more complete if this role were to be included from time to tim=

several network newsletters re the news, the shareprices, industry updates, =
