Hi, Robert, The person I have in mind is Donna Fenstermaker, an excellent masseuse and artist who became a good friend of mine and managed the group's mailing list for a long time. I don't know how far she is from BART. She has a massage room at her house and also works for a SF hotel. Her phone number is 532-7365, and she lives at 2434 E. 23rd in Oakland. If Donna is too far away for you, especially by public transit, you might check with chirorpractors in ; many have certified massage therapists working in their offices. I wish I remember the name of a good Eastern European massage therapist who worked on me last year at Piedmont Springs, a hot tub place on Piedmont Ave. that contracts with a number of massage therapists. Just in case, Piedmont Springs is at 3939 Piedmont Ave. (a 10-15 minutes' walk from the MacArthur BART), and the phone number is 652-9191. That' s another possibility. Dunno if you could get a massage w/o also doing the hot tub, but doing the latter for 30 minutes followed by massage is sure nice if it's affordable. Good luck! joan -----Original Message----- From: Robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert> Sent: Jan 3, 2004 9:00 AM To: Joan Lichterman <http://www.mindspring.com/~ebayjoan> Subject: Re: masseuse
