Hi,

Hope you are doing well. All is well here. I go to Texas on Thursday.

Just to jog your memory. Do you remember the name of the nun, that gave you and Tony such a hard time about red shoe laces in your boots?

Saw her in the grocery today, didn't speak to her 'cause I couldn't remember her name. I know her Mom does or did live in the area, so don't know if she is back at St. Lad's.

If you remember let me know.

Love,
Mom

This made me laugh. And it was Sister Elaine. Of course.

Gwen on Cloud Nine

Gwen--my mom--at the Stanford Sculpture Garden in 2003. She may have funny mollusks on her jacket, but her doctor says she's cancer free.

To say I'm am floating on "cloud nine" would almost be an understatement. I was at the University of Chicago Hospitals last week for my annual CT and back today to see the Oncologist. He said "it is 5 years since your chemo, you do not have to come back". I still have to report once a year to the Urologist, but maybe that will cease too.

Peace, and thank all of you for all of your prayers,
Gwen
