Rev. Billy Graham returning to North Carolina after treatment at Mayo Clinic

The Associated Press - ROCHESTER, Minn. (September 18, 2000 4:19 p.m. EDT
http://www.nandotimes.com) - The Rev. Billy Graham headed home for North
Carolina on Monday after he was treated at the Mayo Clinic for Parkinson's
disease and fluid around the brain.

The 81-year-old evangelist said that during his treatment that he had a lot
of time to think and pray.

"I've discovered I have just as much zeal for preaching the gospel as ever,
but I have had to realize that I am limited physically and must drastically
reduce my schedule," he said. "But I do look forward to several more years
of ministry as a result of my time here."

Graham underwent several surgical procedures in June and had remained in
Rochester for outpatient therapy.

"I have been in Rochester so long that it's beginning to feel like home,"
he said.
