That 'some kind of virus' that has stricken about everybody I know from
here to Europe/Asia stopped here too and got to te family. Hit
me special hard and still weakened Coronary Recovery event of 4 years
ago more than I could handle. Incredible Family, Friends and
Medicals at Scott & White, brought me through and I'm here at home
in my own BR listening to Anne Murray "Blessed are the Believers
and blesses are the beleft behind.." with special meaning, feelings.
Somehow You needed me-I needed you and you were there! Ah how Anne can
touch the special heartstrings-wish i could have met her somewhere back
down the line, just to ask for an autograph!
Had chance to talk about Howard to several interesting interested
people.
especially lovely Nurse Maria Aretta, who may come visiting us on line!
Surely hope so. Her sweet kindnesses shall never be forgotten by
this old feller who thanks her Parents for bringing such a wonderful
person into this world to help someone who needed her help
eccouragement so desperately!

I'll be as active as possible, but folks-I'm very limited in ability to
do much of anything right now and indefinitely. 77 is a slowitdown age!
I'll always watch memorial proceedings with undiminishedf interest
and commitment..God Bless You All. Hooray Howard Hughes!
Sincerely Van
