A Great Day With A Great Fellow Firefighter!

Today I had a great visit with my great friend & fellow firefighter; Downtown Roy Brown! All the years, that I was confined to a bed; in an Adult Foster Home, in Medford, OR; Roy was the only fellow firefighter friend, who ever called or came to visit me. Roy made a point of at least once a month of having a take-out lunch; with me, that I always insisted on paying for. Their were at least 2 Christmas's that he did all my shopping for me. His very talented wife, Virginia designed & printed personalized Christmas cards for me to give to my family & friends.

A greater & truly sincere friend; is not to be had. Just as all his fellow firefighters knew; that when fighting fires or just being there when he was needed; they could always count on RB being there. If the circumstances were reversed I would do the same for him & more, in an instant! I cherish his Friendship & miss him dearly!......Nothing else needs to be said, Mark

Making slow & steady progress on my book research

Made some headway on my book research; by developing several new leads. The pace should pick-up considerately, in the next few weeks.......Only time will tell....Mark

Today's been; a great day; but yet a very sad day!

Today I found another good friend; which both of us had lost touch w/ each other, since 1982. We've got a lot of catching-up to do. That's the great part of my day.

The very sad part is earlier, this morning I found out that my oldest sister, found out she has some serious health issues; requiring surgery.

She remains in my daily thoughts & prayers!.....That's all today, Mark

1 more stumbling block

Yesterday I had to cancel my apptmt w/ Dr. Conlin. The apptmt. is moved back to Mon.. 6/20/05 @ 10:00 am for CT scan & then to see Dr. Conlin @ 11:45 am.
I'm concerned, about extending the duration; but it couldn't be helped.

I'll leave it to God's divine mercy; to bail me out, the way he's done countless times, my entire lifetime.

If your so inclined; I could use your prayers......Mark
