Hi Guys,  It's been a long time since I wrote anything.  In July my brother and I went on that vacation I mentioned in April.  Thank you , Bruce, for thinking of us and making it all possible.  I flew up to Oregon and then we drove back to Corona for a couple of days and to pack the wheelchair that we've been storing for him.  Larry got to meet some of you (I wish it could have been all of you).

  Here is an excerpt from a letter he wrote after the trip:  "...It was a pleasure to see Herm - a real gentleman; and Dave - a man grown and nice guy, and Nichole - a real treat - I could see those two belong together; and Cheryl - such a good mom and so happy; and Emma and Eden - what more can one say about cute; and Annie - her fun fuse is lit and away we go.  Most of all, I got to see a slice of your life and what value you all place on family..."  

Here's what he wrote about when he and Bruce loaded and secured the chair into his van, "I think Bruce's and my knowledge of the 'Laws of Physics in Relation to Moving Wheeled Objects Into Other Wheeled Object in an Urban Mediterranean Clime' deserves to be written up and submitted to NASCAR, 'First ya get two guys with oh, about three-quarters of a brain between 'em, and some plywood and boards and rope and stuff and make sure no one else is watching.  Then the guy with the least brains gets to be the 'driver' and the other guy gets ready to run in case it don't work...'  A real scientific piece.  I'm sure NASCAR would not be what it is today without pioneers like us."

Got to go now.  I got some kind of ugly message that Autosave failed.  I hope that doesn't mean everything is lost.  <3
