[Magdalen] Fall Down Go Boom.

[Christopher Hart]

David,

Glad to know that you are OK! Can you say a little more about the Life
Alert system. I’m especially interested as my wife is prone to falls. How
do they get into your house? Could they enter if your partner was not
present or himself able to greet them? Thanks.
