Hello Kathy, Welcome to Alopecia World; I'm from the Madison area. A few years ago in order to perhaps help keep the Wisconsin residents informed of local groups and/or meetings, I created Alopecians in Wisconsin which can be located under "groups". Please consider joining our local family. We are comprised of many ages; I'm now 69 but have had this disease for over 2 decades; it also ran in my family with 2 AU uncles so it was no surprise. The bad days are few at this age because I'm still otherwise healthy and grateful for that. Also, my first good hairpiece made life much easier; I continue to wear that one (now dyed reddish brown) but have since ordered another in a reddish color and love both of them. They're expensive but well worth the investment. Susan
