> Hello All:

> cancer.  As of this week, Jim has had four cycles of chemo therapy.  So 
> far, he is feeling fine.  The Oncologist says that he is getting through 
> this like a mack truck.  His appetite is good and he is experiencing 
> minimal side effects.  Those of us who know Jim tease that he is the man 
> of steel and he is keeping true to form.

> While Jim is undergoing his chemo treatments I am continuing to work at 
> the California School for the Blind.  I am teaching full-time.  Jim has a 
> caregiver who takes him to his appointments and makes sure he eats and 
> drinks plenty during the day.  This has been a great help to me as I 
> continue to teach and run the affiliate.  I just want to make sure that 
> you know that our door is always open for help and information about the 
> National Federation of the Blind and you can feel free to call our home 
> whenever you need or want assistance or information.  Jim and I have
