[Nfb-seniors] Nfb-seniors Digest, Vol 65, Issue 2

Hey Gang!!!

Bern here, once again!!

Firstly, Mike, I'm just now getting to all this just this morning. Judy, 
I too, would love to welcome you to "Diabetes Talk!!"  I'm chomping at 
the bit to see what you might have to contribute for us.  Can't even 
tell you how many years I've been on the "Diabetes Talk" list.  However, 
I have learned so much from so many people.  I learn about insulin pumps 
from the pumpers who've contributed, some of the other complications and 
how different people cope, just for starters.  I've gained a whole 
circle of new friends.  As a matter of fact, they're another extended 
family to me!!  We're always looking for new people to come join us 
Judy.  Take care.

Bern
