Dick had his semi-annual check-up in Gainesville at Shands Hospital today (it was satisfactory but always in the "vigilant" stage for some bumps and quiet lesions on his lip) but I am happy to report they had ORAL CANCER FOUNDATION CARDS in with their brochures. They were post-card size. Anyway, glad someone was on top of things and spread the word about this very fine organization! Jane : )
