Hi Everyone:

Okay, so Frank is indeed a hard man to find but after a few attempts, Dave and I found him tonight and had a great visit.

Packer is as Packer always is-witty, upbeat, and giving the thumbs up high sign at the mention of his friends at OCF.

Frank is getting through radiation well and says he has some mouth pain but is mostly feeling tired. He does have some facial and eye swelling but that didn't stop the twinkle I remembered so well from the last time we met. We didn't take it too personally when he started to doze off while we were speaking. I told Dave his nasal British accent must have that effect on people.

I let Frank know that his OCF family is sending him good thoughts and pulling for him and he was very appreciative. He says thanks for the cards and he LOVED the Green Bay Packer book Dan sent so kudos to you for a good choice!

Dee will be joining us here in Boston on Thursday so we hope to get to see her too. In the meantime, please keep the cards for Frank coming. Anyone who missed the address can e-mail me and I will forward. For those that inquired about the zip code, it is 02445.

Today was good-I feel so lucky to be part of this group. Dave has a check-up tomorrow and will be on the receiving end of the ever popular scope. Since I'm not known to be less than an anxious wreck, I feel perfectly comfortable asking you all to send calming thoughts my way and clean scope findings Dave's way.

Kim
