    I remember the woman in the naaf picture on the left as the first person I saw with alopecia, (besides myself) 5years ago when mine fell. How funny. It really suits her.

    Hi Melissa,

    Just wanted to say "HI" to you, from one Louisiana ot another.

    I joined yesterday, 03/24/2008, and just looking around. NO, I do not have Alopecia but I do know a few people who do and I support their feelings and them.

    I live in Gretna ...... You know that little City just south, on the map, and across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.

    Wishing you the best in life ......
