Sondra,
   Thank you so much.....yes, I do believe that he heard my good-bye also. 
Matter of fact, when I went in to see him, I talked to him for awhile, and 
when I started to leave, the doors wouldn't open.  I tried pushing and 
pulling, and knocking on the doors, but no one heard me.  I finally had to go 
out through the accordian pleated doors.  When I saw the attendant, I asked 
him why he had locked the doors.  He assured me that with no effort at all 
the doors would open.  We continued to talk, but before leaving, I went back 
and tried the doors, and sure enough, with two fingers, the doors opened.
                                       Patti
