NOTE:  I have a health issue at this time. It is not live threating, but is serious and I am presently taking IV antibiotic therapy every day for the next 6 weeks.  This is going to require me to stay very close to home and I will be missing several CCOs that we had planned to attend.  Also, my Mother has developed a serious heart problem and my Father is progressing very slowly and at this time and his prognosis is not good.  I am hoping that he doesn't give up, but this has been a very hard battle.  Lucky for me, Cliff is healthy!  Please keep us in your prayers! Janice
