Mrs.E. and I are heading off to the marina. They are having a benefit
dinner for one of the employees who was diagnosed with leukemia this past
summer and has been out of work. Fortunately, the type he has is very
responsive to chemo and he is expected to make a full recovery but will be
out of commission for a year or so.

He has 3 young kids, so it's timely and great that the marina has decided
to
have a benefit and fund raiser just before the holidays. His father also
works at the marina and both are super nice, helpful people.

Should be a large turnout as both are well respected and liked by everyone
who has occasion to benefit from their expertise during the boating
season.

My mom died from the chronic myelogenous variety about ten years ago. Hope
the employee does well.
