Hi Lauren, I used to live in Eugene. I'm sorry the NFB chapter there is not doing well. When I lived there, the President of that chapter was a wonderful lady named Linda Sustello. She lived in Springfield. She may have passed away. She was diabetic, and had some very serious health issues. But if she is still around, please tell her hello. There was also a lady named Gweneth. She got married and for the life of me I can't remember her last name. It was McCallum, but I know it's not that anymore. If you find Gweneth, my name used to be Debby Freeman, please tell her hello.    Debby

I told them I thought it was time to have a cat for President.  I don't remember if we had the in-home option in WA or CA or not, but if so, I was unaware of it.

Saturday they took forever getting the paperwork done so I remarked to a couple can's that maybe this was the Hotel California. (in Oregon). I have wounds on my left leg that aren't healing. I've had tons of antibiotics. This time, I think the main wound might finally be getting smaller. It has been painful in a major way.
