In 1969, Washington state public schools still began on the day after Labor Day. They still do. I arrived at the opening day gathering late, but was surprised to see two young women emerge from a car with Illinois plates and a Chicago city vehicle sticker. I caught up with them, but they informed me that they were late for an important meeting and had no time to talk. A bit disappointing.
Well, very soon one of the women, a Chicago native named Thelma was sitting at the same faculty table. She was a new elementary teacher where I was to be the new elementary counselor in the same school. And this woman was Thelma who you know as my wife.
Those of you who know more than I do about Dilantin realize that rather than being taken off the drug in one day, it will actually be gradually over the next two weeks.
I am feeling substantially better and hope it continues. . . .

Well, it seems the good news just keeps coming. We are so pleased to see the recent developments, and hope that the improvement just continues. Nice labor day story, I like a story with a happy ending. We saw Liz and Joe last evening in the Target parking lot and they are so thrilled at how things are going for you. And it’s nice to see a young couple hapy together. Hang in there and do your therapies and give people a little hell besides. I can’t wait to see you in your pirate’s hat!
