Hi Curtis,

You are to be commended for what you are doing with your public service through your great website and your speaking engagements.

I am currently working with a patient of mine to help him quit chewing. Although he does not have cancer yet, he has tissue changes that are pre-cancerous. I am expecting a package in the mail from an OCF member, Tonya, who's brother David, lost his battle with cancer from chewing tobacco, last year. She too, in conjunction with her sister-in-law, is speaking to local people and has successfully helped several of them stop chewing.

As soon as I ge to my office this morning I am going to email your link to my patient. This may just be the thing to "shock" him into stopping. There is no doubt in my mind that your website, story and pictures will have a great impact on him. I will let you know when he quits.

Congratulations on your successful surgery and I hope that you choose to stick around here and become a regular member. You have a lot to offer. Your website is terrific and although I am not a hunter, I plan on going back to it and read it all.

Thanks.

Jerry
