Hi Hap,

-> And he wants to know what part of SC your family is from.

 HN> Halfway between Columbia and Sumter. Small town
 HN> called Wedgefield.

OK, I'll pass on the info Sunday when I see him. Family name is
Mitchell.

-> We've got a small Goebel (probably not spelled right) set I got in
-> Germany, with a olive wood stable we bought in Bethlehem. Didn't set it
-> up last year as we left soon after classes ended for NY to do christmas
-> for my folks.

 HN> I came home today and Anne had already set

 HN> I think she'll also set up "our" set as
 HN> well..when she finds it!

Sounds like she's feeling better. Sometimes it takes a lot of energy to
do simple things but so much joy/satisfaction comes from the
accomplishment of them.

We have 2 Bachelor's, one Associate's but only hear from 3 of our 5
previous schools. The one I graduated from, yesterday got a letter of
intent for a $12,000,000 gift to improve the athletic facilities. Doner
and her husband own the Buffalo Sabers and Rochester Americans (hockey)
teams. We've donated some to a couple of the schools, not much but keeps
us on the lists. Steve has joined the SEBTS alumni association so I
suspect we'll hear from them, more so after he graduates.

 HN> I am terrified of having her "catch" something
 HN> in the state her immune system is currently in.

It will rebuild. Can't keep her 100% germ free but can do as much as
possible. Can Anne have yogurt with active cultures or do they have to
be dead ones? The live ones are good for restoring the good bacteria to
a digestive system after a round of antibiotics, don't know if they're
any help to chemo patients or not.
