Greg, you and your wife make a handsome couple.  You are both too young for
this disease.  I was 60 when I got it, now am 69.  I didn't see the leader
of the opposition, but will look again.

I don't know what MGH is, but you two as a couple  kind of remind me of
Barbara and Niles Jensen, who met in Santa Barbara at a PD support group
when they were both in better shape.

They went back to the UK and Barb used to call me from there quite often. I
can't find here now.  Her voice was very bad and mine was OK.  Now its like
hers.  She was very depressed so I hope things aren't worse, but I fear they
are.

Thanks to Diane Wysak's posts to me, I have met Sandy Price, a RINO from CA
who lives next to me in Sun City near Surprise, AZ  She is active in support
for stem cell research and end of life choices.  I emailed her to compliment
her on an op-ed piece she wrote about how the religious right has captured
the GOP.

Best wishes in the fight, Ray
