Re: Cathy O'Connor of paypal?

I am not on twitter, I am a paypal customer.  Wonder why she has no 
contact via  the place where she   makes sure paypal goods and services 
are usable by people of all abilities?
Smiles.  Perhaps I can find someone active to ask some pointed questions 
of her via social media.
Thanks,
Karen
