DEar Friend Ron,
Pls don't fret about the computer. I believe and had great trepidation
when I sent my scanned pic to you by e-mail that it may have some very
consequential effect on windows 95. BillGates has not come up with an
idea on how to capture my picture in windows 95. So I aplogize if I
broke your computer with my pic. It has that effect on most all. :) So,
when you get the chance pls e-mail your snail mail address and I will
send you our pix and much more. Dont be stressed out because of this.
YOur message and great positive energy and attitude, as I have said
before is a message and learning experience for all of us, healthy and
non as like. We have a saying in Jewish "Strength to strength". Meaning
that when one is healing in mind and body they are going from strength
to becoming stronger. It is a positive message and one of which also is
comforting and rewarding as we read your courage and spiritual strength
as well.
God Bless my friend and we will await with great anxiety for your report
on your progress.
