> 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,

> 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

> 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

> Don't be shy.  One of us will return your call as soon as we can.
