  • Good News!!

    Some of you are were aware of my girlfriend, Betty's, brother being diagnosed with leukemia a couple of months ago. He underwent a series of Chemo treatments and all the brothers and sisters were tested as possible bone marrow donors. None were a match. He is now in remission and over 200 donor matches have been identified worldwide. Our local volunteer fire department granted us the use of the fire house yesterday for a benefit where we raised well over $5000.00. In addition to the auction and raffels we had four different Bluegrass bands who donated their time and talent and several individual singers. Betty and I want to thank all of you who kept Robert and the family in your prayers. Faith is a powerful medicine in and of itself and your friendship and spiritual support have been a significant contribution to this outcome. Give yourself a big hug from Bett' and me!!! I'm going to try to design and build a nice sign or plaque for inside the fire house and welcome any input and ideas in that regard.

              I wasn't aware of the situation but I'm delighted that everyone's pooling their talents and helping out. Fingers crossed for the happiest of outcomes !
