Wonderful post.

Enjoyed all the photos.

Second time I have kicked myself in the slats for not making more of an effort to be invited and having attended.

So far as Kolleen goes, she is a beautiful young lady and I sincerely hope she gets through this challenge.

Over the years I have been very close to the medical community to see things closer at hand than most. Also, another and much richer member of my family has already donated over a million dollars to fight this insidious disease which has claimed several members of our family.

Fortunately, and I am happy to say, the Palm Beaches (Jupiter specifically) is a new geographical area for basic genetic research to happen via many generous donations and other efforts by numerous private citizens and our politico/economic leaders, from the Governor on down, to bring the Scripts Institute and some others to this area.

Hope that all of this will someday, somehow, be of benefit to you, sweetheart.

If there were miracles and such, I would happily give the few years I have remaining to you, knowing that you would continue to live a great, educated, productive, honorable life devoted to science and logic and the betterment of our specie and all other living things.
