>Hello All:
>I thought I might take a moment to say thank you to all of the 
people who
>have sent good wishes, thoughts and prayers for Jim's recovery 
from lung
>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 always
>found strength and support in our Federation family and this time 
is no
>exception.

>The affiliate phone number is our home phone number which is 
still the same
>as when Jim was the affiliate president.  That is (925) 462-8575 
and my cell
>phone number is (925) 895-2778.
>Don't be shy.  One of us will return your call as soon as we can.

>Yours in the movement-
>Mary Willows, President
>National Federation of the Blind of California
