Hi Amy,

Petey, my watch dog, let me know early yesterday that you got your article published. This was the first chance I got during a very busy weekend to check it out. You really did a great job.

Even though some of the facts may be incorrect, the important thing is that the message that early detection saves lives was there. Also making more people aware of the HPV connection, is doing a great public service.

I have an article coming out in the American Dental Association News this coming week and I was fortunate enough to see a draft of the article. It is about the NYC Walk and I wanted to plug the fact that the money rasied was going to OCF. It wasn't in the draft so I told the writer. She never got back to me and I am hoping the she got that fact in as well as a link to the OCF. We really are at the mercy of the writers and publishers.

I hope things are moving along for the walk in Chicago. I'm sure you will be succesful in raising money whether the walk takes place or not. Don't forget to send in the check I sent you for the walk, earlier in the year.

BTW, I don't know what "tater tot hotdish" is, but I would sure take a steak over it any day.
