AND FINALLY ...

A letter from a bank informing Gloria Wicker that she was dead and that her assets were frozen sent the woman to the hospital with chest pains as she tried for hours to get through an aggravating series of automated phone messages to prove she was alive.
Wicker, 71, a city commissioner for the eastern New Mexico town of Clovis, was hospitalized in the nearby city of Lubbock, Texas, after receiving the letter from the Bank of America informing her that she had died about a month earlier.
Wicker said the bank corrected the problem and now recognizes that she is alive.
