Dear Friends


My phone # until the 30th is 501-365=6196, then I am off to Uganda for another 18 mo.


Blogs should continue in force at that time, as I have so much to share with you of the last 6 weeks in the States.


Have a wonderful holiday season and a New Year that is the best ever!

Remembering JAMES on his Birthday

Dear Friends

Tomorrow, Dec. 5th, was James Andersons Birthday and nobody enjoyed a birthday, a holiday, ANY excuse to celebrate with friends more than James.

More pics and memories later but for now this is one of my all time favorite pics of Mary Sunshine and me --bussing James on his birthday years ago.

I, along with many many others, especially Brian, miss your joy, infectious laughter and well, just plain YOU, more than words can say.

World AIDS Day Dec 1, 2008

----- Let’s remember to wear red ribbons

On December 1, 2008, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. It is a day when people around the world come together to call attention to this world-wide epidemic. This day is important in reminding all of us that AIDS affects millions of people and that the work of confronting this illness must continue.
While there have been significant results and much progress in combating this disease in the past years, much more work and research needs to be done to eradicate this illness from the world population.
The theme for this year’s campaign is “Leadership” and the campaign slogan is “Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.” It urges everyone and especially leaders to fulfill the promise and commitments that have been made to provide the prevention and treatment necessary to confront this epidemic and to assist those millions who have been affected by HIV/AIDS.
Red ribbons are the international symbol of AIDS awareness. They are worn by people around the world to demonstrate their concern and solidarity for those affected. On December 1, 2008, all are encouraged to wear something RED and to encourage others to do the same.
