PJ, Your mother was my supervisor for years (she is quite wonderful, as I suspect you already know.) at PCC in Portland while I was a part-time instructor there. I never have had a chance to meet you in person, but heard lots of wonderful things about you through the years--there was a trip, I think, to Washington D.C. to accept an award, and I remember your mother once telling me that there was a program at OES where you had to carry around a sack of flour for one day, to see what it might be like to have an infant. I've appreciated reading the information on your website, and hearing what's happening with you. Very impressive indeed. Not only that, but I know of two other people who have been diagnosed with lymphoma--so the website is also most helpful. I wish you well during the treatment regimen, thanks for an incredible source of information! Hyla Rosenberg, Lane Community College Eugene, Oregon

Ann Saalborn from Portland writes:

My Dear - such a shock to read of your medical trials. I was thankful for your hair pictures because your first pic brought you clearly into the focus of my memory. Of course you and your lovely mother are vivid memories in the PSGC corner of my mind. (Dad person I knew less well but always enjoyed seeing him in the audience admiring you and your chorister friends.) Roberta may never have heard this, but you and she together presented one more reason for hoping Crissy made the cut into PSGC. As we were waiting for Crissy to audition, you and Roberta emerged from the audition room, she saying to you, "Now Patty Jeanne, I don't usually say anything to the girls at audition time, but I know you will be a wreck, so I am telling you now, of course you auditioned successfully into the group." As a potential choir mum with a talented and sensitive young chick about to audition, my thought was, "how warm and human - this will be a good place." And, of course, it has been far, far superior to "good" - so excellent, in fact, they just can't get rid of me. Crissy moved on and is still singing jazz, now with "Genesis" at Mount Hood. I expect she will complete her music degree at Central Washington University. Patty Jeanne, you take the best of care. Please greet your parents warmly for me and know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of our family. Thank you so much for the beautiful and informative web site. I know you are a scientist and a musician, but are you aware you are also quite a fine teacher? It's in the genes, no? We will be in touch through this site often and I will be in contact with Auntie Becky and family. The best to you for your winter term at Stanford. XXXO

After all, it would take a lot of effort, right? :) I must say that reading about your struggles has made me truly admire you, even more. Thoug we missed out on forming that "roomie bond", I feel like I've gotten to know you better through reading about your battle. And I've decided that you fully are amazing! To have the strength and ferocity to tear through this cancer as you have is truly outstanding. I know few who would stand up as strongly (I almost wrote "stanford up". AUGH!) So, even though you aren't entering Schiffhaus 104, everyone is glad to have you back in the 'Co. I will come visit you when I'm around Stanford, whenever that may be. If you think a visit to Monterey might be good for your disposition, don't hesitate to call. "The salt sea air will do you good." I've been holding you in my thoughts everyday. May the New Year bring you even more success. Love, Daisy P.S. And, besides all that, THE WEBSITE IS AMAZING!!!

Patty Jeanne, I talked to a friend who told me about a really informative program...you may already have seen it. It appeared on Nova on PBS last week: Cancer Warrior. You are already pretty informed about the cancer process and about the medicines involved. This site may offer simply review or may have some new info for you. It has the entire Nova program (aired 2/27) available, cancer resources, information about cancer itself. The URL is http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/cancer/ . One of the new antitumor medicines being tested is called endostatin, out of the labs of a Dr. Judah Folkman. The blood vessel inhibitor may have a role beyond cancer. The site might be worth a look. Hang in there...

Patty Jeanne-You don't know me although I met you at the Tri Delt House at the beginning of this year. I am a friend of Kristen Cruickshank. I just wanted you to know that I have been through a similar experience-I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's a year and a half ago. I went through chemo and radiation as well (and I have my own gripes about Vincristine!). Your web site is almost as amazing as your attitude, keep it up! I was treated at City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, CA. In the front there is a gate that has the following quote: "There is no profit in curing the body if in the process we destroy the soul." I repeated the phrase every night before I went to bed-I just thought I would pass it along. Your strength of character, so apparent in your writings, will carry you through this. You are truly incredible. If you ever need to talk to someone who understands the ups and downs of it all, don't hesitate to email me: fogliani@stanford.edu. I will keep you in my prayers.

I've been getting most of my news through Kristen, and I was hoping for some more recent updates. It's really too bad that I didn't get to see you on your way out, but it was a hectic time. The good news, perhaps, is that I may be up in the Portland area for a bit of spring break. I don't know which email address to write you at, so I'm writing you here. If you would be up to a short visit from me, I would love to drop in for a day. Keep you from getting bored... :) Though I don't know if you have the time to be bored right now...

I heard of you via my Cousin Buzz Gailbreth who heard of you via Helene and Tom Fedewa. I am a 60 year old colon cancer surviver. Your story brought back a lot of memories. By the time my cancer was discovered it had spread via the lymphatic system so i was scheduled for a 50 week campaign of chemo. Midway through the campaign I need more surgery. So the chemo was suspended for 16 week to aloow my body to recover enough from the chemo to stand the surgrery and then recover enough from the surgery to endure the chem. All in all I had nearly two years of chemo. I noticed that you are a skier. I am as well. Something that helped me very much during my long campaign was to go skiing immediatly after chem. Naturaly I couldnt ski anything very challanging or ski for very long but just being on a mountain top msade me feel wonderful I could honestly tell mysell "you aint dead yet". Maybe something like this will work for you. Good luck in your campaign. tim forquer

So, I finally cut my hair yesterday. Yes, I cut 14 inches to donate to Wigs for Kids--that first initial cut was scary, but then I liked it. When I got home I looked in the mirrow and cried (it was a huge change), but I kind of like it now. It was definitely worth it. Its amazing what hair can do to you, but now someone else who lost their hair to chemo will get to wear my hair (I only wish I could have given it to you PJ!). Anyway, I can't wait to see you soon. Its gonna be a great summer! love ya, kristen

You are young and will bounce back a lot faster than Ken who is SO old compared to you! Force yourself to walk the halls to stay strong. I'm sure the staff will treat you like a goddess. Ken and I really enjoyed our visit with you and your family. You looked so incredibly beautiful that night. We think of you daily. Say hi to your parents. Linda

Jeanne Semura from Lake Forest Park, Washington writes:

Update from your father tonight indicates that you are probably at the nadir point right now. Sometime in the next few days you'll go through the aphoreses (not sure of spelling) stem cell collection phase. I've called the Puget Sound Blood Bank to volunteer as a stem cell donor. They want to send literature, but I want an appointment to get my blood tested. It takes about 4 weeks to be typed and I heard about 4 months to be matched. Although, you are not now a candidate for a donor transplant I wanted to be on the donor list just in case. I read that only 4% of the people on the registry are of Asian descent. The odds of a match are better within the same race, however any one reading this guest book who's under 60 and in good health is eligible. There may be a fee for the test. Most bone marrow transplants today are done through stem cell harvesting from blood. While I'm hoping you won't need a donor, who knows, an aunt might just be the right match! Lucy Chow Chow and Stetson Samoyed join me in sending positive energy your way. Maybe your other fans will step forward to join the donor list as well.

I just wanted to say hello and wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. Your website is a great tool to sort of get a better look at what you are going through. Hang in there! Anyway, I am taking a class at your good ol' Stanford this summer and so if you ever want a visitor, give me a ring! Well, talk to you soon!

PJ--Just read your CT experience. Made me appreciate how good Jim had it the other day (either that or he didn't complain) at Good Sam the other day following the RFA (radio frequency ablasion) of his tumor. Hopefully this RFA and another one, probably in September, will end this part of his saga. Anyway, we are thinking of you and ofcourse wishing you well, but also skilled physicians and other medical personnel who have heart .....and that the clinics are run well!!!! I just finished listening to Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver on CD. A good set of stories entwined in some thoughtful statements about the facts of biology and the interconnectedness of all living things, including people. Katy

Today has been overcast and cool...my kind of weather. The big news for Cross Creek is, big debris barrels were delivered by Aloha Garbage this morning. They are the kind to be mechanically lifted. I'll tell you PJ,we are fast approaching big town status. I put your family's barrel in the back and I have the new pick-up days info here.The blueberries are ripening and I think tomorrow might be a good day to pick some.Other than the barrels, there isn't too much going on.

As for the hair cuts/dyes, one of my closest girlfriends has the same cut & I adore running my hand through the back of her hair (it just sends shivers, it feels so good ;-) So, definitely consider keeping it the same style when your hair grows back.

Patty!!! After a long summer down in Costa Rica, working long hours with only 4 days off in 2 months, I'm almost done!!! We're off after Thursday (1 more day!!!), and I finally have time to use the slow internet connection here at the bio station to check in on how you're doing. I've been thinking about you a ton the past week, and it was good to check back in on how you're doing, after a summer of not knowing. The CT scan from hell sure sounded hellatious!!! Anyhow, I'm going to be home for a month before heading to Chile with Kristen, and I'm gonna try to make it down to Stanford, though being without a car, it may take some finagling... But if and when I make it down, I'm definitely going to visit you if you're up for it. So I'll keep reading and let you know if I'm coming down. You're constantly in my thoughts and prayers, or whatever the positive radiations that I send to the greater spirit are called. ;) I am constantly in total awe of how strong you have been through this whole thing.

Katy Nadal from Portland writes:

PJ: Just checked in today to see how you are doing, or should I say what 'they' are doing to you, albeit at your discretion. Listen to everyone, then listen to yourself--heart, mind, and soul. I talked to a friend today who said that she had felt the presence of an angel late the other night when she was outside with her neighbor in the backyard. Now, I have never had this happen to me, but it is interesting when you begin to share experiences like this with others, that others begin to open up and talk about the things they have experienced. Anyway, she said the angel was her grandmother and that she indicated what she (my friend) should do regarding her own mother who is elderly and having some difficulties. Jim is sure that angels have been watching over him during the past three years. He has had several signs. Maybe being sick makes one more receptive to these messengers. As I said, I have never experienced any of this first hand; but I am not going to deny others' experiences either. Anyway, you clearly have tough decisions to make. I will continue to send you warm thoughts and continued ability to listen to everyone (even angels?), including yourself, and to find the answers within. Don't know if it is hot there, but tonight there is a great cool breeze bringing life to the evening. Hope you'll get in a visit to PDX before too long so you can enjoy one of these evenings, too. Life around here is busy--yard work, meals, water fights in the backyard, an occasional game of scrabble or boggle in the evening. John (my son) and friend are heading to Seaside for the VolleyBall competition. As they are only 16, I don't think they have big plans to win any prizes, but they do plan to have a good time. kt

Good afternoon, P.J. My company's servers have been down for a couple days due to the Code Red virus (yes, we caught it) and possibly some other stuff. It felt very awkward to try to complete the daily work rituals without touching e-mail and networked information. I discovered that it's impossible. At any rate, we're back up and in business. It's been about 4 weeks since I last checked the site. I was so sorry to hear about your Portland home. Hopefully, it will be scrubbed and repaired and readied for your return. Our family beach house suffered the same fate. That mold is awful (we are an allergy-laden family). We lost the use of the house for quite a while. Meantime, Girlchoir is starting a new season. The Premier choir just returned from Victoria, BC, where they worked with Doreen Rao. It was hard work, but a great experience. This year's theme is "Our Hearts Sing." Please give my best to your mom and dad. Your family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Chris

Hi, PJ. Can't believe your house has had some of the same trauma as ours.

(My 84-year-old aunt and uncle were here, as well as cousins and families from back East. Thank goodness it's not our only bathroom.) The wedding was wonderful, and we're catching up on a little sleep now. I've been thinking of you and praying for you, and now finally can send you a message. This has been such a long journey for you. I just hope you're rewarded with better and better days! Know that we're with you in spirit and look forward to seeing you soon.

Dear Patty Jeanne, I hope you received my email of about three weeks ago. I tried to send it directly to you, not through the Guestbook, and received all sorts of alarming messages both times and both ways I tried to send it. Then, when I went to get the copy I'd sent to the printer, that had disappeared as well. Oh well, it seemed like a funny message at the time, but maybe it wasn't. I have returned from almost two weeks in Utah to visit my parents and see some friends in Cedar City, the site of an Ashland-type Shakespearean festival. Also had some geologically oriented tours of Cedar Breaks and Brian Head, a cool ski area you can drive to the top of. Study that last sentence. I swear, as an English teacher, it is OK. Teachers' meetings begin tomorrow. I am, of course, sad at the loss of my summer, but interested in what may come. My husband and I delivered both Jane and Ben to Whitman on Friday. A new chapter of my life begins, where a) the house stays the way I put it, or b) I have to take responsibility for messing it up myself (we...ourselves). Thinking of you with my usual affection.

Hi Patty- I'm finally back at Whitman after the whole ordeal of my car breaking down way out in Rifle Colorado. I found out that the population there is only 5,000 people. How exciting. It seriously made Walla Walla seem like Las Vegas, and that's sad!! Classes started yesterday. Most of them seem great except one. Right on the syllabus it says that the exams are "increadibly hard." He also hinted that no matter how hard we study, it is very unlikely to do well on the first exam. Wonderful.

Maris has turned out to be a pretty good surfer as she was afraid to fall so had no choice but to stand. Amanda and Bruce also were able to do pretty well. I happily waited on the beach snapping photos of any one and everyone I thought might be one of them. We were all specially impressed with the talking Minah Bird in the zoo. We could not believe it's ability to imitate a human laugh. Bruce wants to buy one and train it. I want to find out how long it took the one in the Honolulu Zoo to learn to speak.

Chris Hoyt from my desk at work (in Portland) writes:

Dear Patty Jeanne, It's been a while since I signed in and said "hi." "Hi." There, now with the formalities over, we can get down to business. Girlchoir started it's 13th season with 4 choirs and nearly 150 singers. Can you imagine! When you and Jessica joined, it was so much smaller. We have performances practically every month now. Remember when it was just 2 per year?!? Times do change, but the Girlchoir spirit doesn't. Each year I think that it can't get better. When you and Jessica graduated in 1999, I thought that the best singers were gone and that we'd just have to wait and see what happened in the next season. Well, the next season was even better. And last year's was better than that. I can say that now, without prejudice, because I no longer have a daughter in choir. Girls still find satisfaction in the their desire for music. They find lifelong friends in choir. Here I go again. It just can't get any better than that. If you are back in Portland the first week of December, I would like to treat you and your parents to a PSGC concert. I'll send you a "get in free" ticket via mail when the time gets closer. Meanwhile, I continue to pray for you and your family. I hold you in my thoughts and prayers almost daily. My best to all, Chris

Hey Patty- I am a stress case this week. I leave to go to Idaho with my housemate thursday at noon, and before then I have two midterms to study for, a paper, other random homework, laundry to do, packing, trying to get rid of most of the food in the refrigerator, and too many little errands to even count. One of the midterms requires more memorization of vocabulary than I ever thought humanly possible (physiology of behavior- good class, just an overload of information). So needless to say, I'm really looking forward to relaxing this weekend. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you always. Love you, Carole-Anne

Penny Thompson from Beaverton writes:

Hi PJ, I thought you might be entertained by a few short stories about recent life here with the Thompsons. The first one I'll share with you is the story of how I got my new used car. Some time last year, Amanda informed Bruce and I that beginning this September, her school schedule would not allow her to carpool or to be dropped off by one of us, so we would have to get a third car. We knew this was coming and were thankful she had gotten through 3 years of college without one. So, last January, Bruce and I began to discuss (more like debate) what kind of car we needed. Bruce wanted something for under $1000.00. This seemed to be his only criteria. I wanted something newer than the 2 cars we already own with better gas mileage. I was thinking about spending between $5000. and $7000. I think you can see how we came to debate rather than discuss. I also thought it might be nice to have something different and fun and sporty. Well, you can imagine what we found for $1000. Nothing. Even at $5000. choices were slim. Now keep in mind Bruce and I do not like to jump into anything. So now it's June. My "85 Subaru has developed several new quirks in addition to the ones it already had. For example, the dashboard only illuminates on one half. You never know the time or radio station. The gas gauge registers half full or higher. At half full, the gas light comes on eventhough you have another 130 miles before a fill-up in necessary unless you hit a big bump which causes it to register the correct amount for about five minutes. It is very important, therefore, to reset the mileage counter each time you fill-up. All the windows can be lowered from the driver's master panel. Only the driver's side front and rear can be raised from the master panel. The front passenger window can be raised from its own panel. The back passenger window requires the efforts of 3 people: one to hold the master switch, one to hold the door switch, and the other to pull the window up at the same time. Of course, the car must be running and facing downhill for success. To put gas in the car, one person must hold the inside release button while another manually flips the gas cover as the spring is gone. Remember, now it was June. Well, the car began to shake slightly while idleing which made me leery to drive it to and from work. Keep in mind we are still looking for a third "beater car". We decided in late June that since Bruce only had to drive 3 miles to work that he would take the Subaru and I would take the '90 Jeep. First day of summer school, I get up and leave. Bruce gets up an hour later to drive the Subaru for the first time to the first day of summer school and it won't start. He gets a neighbor to give him a jump and off he goes. I get a phone call at work that afternoon that he needs me to pick up a new battery as the Subaru will not start now even with a jump. All is well for another week or so. Then I notice a pile of sawdust behind the driver's seat in the Subaru. Apparently, the bottom of the seat has a tear and the insides are slowly leaking out. Now Bruce sits lopsided when driving and develops severe lower back pain. During this time, we still look for third car but now Bruce is willing to spend a little more. My plan is now to buy 2 cars which makes Bruce very nervous. He works with the car guy at the Credit Union and actually find a car that suits my needs two months later. Our new plan is for Bruce to drive the Subaru, Amanda to drive the Jeep, and I will drive whatever we buy. Everything seems great, but Bruce needs a week to mull over the new purchase. The car guy says he'll hold the new used car until Monday. The Thursday before "decision" Monday, we take the Subaru in for servicing. When we pick it up on Saturday, the mechanic has written a note that says, "Do not spend anymore money on this car. Sell or donate immediately." Needless to say, Monday we went to the Credit Union and drove home the new used car. This is not the end. Now, I have been driving the new car since early August with no problems. Amanda has had no problems with the Jeep. Bruce, however, has not had such luck. Now, nothing on the dash works, so you never know how fast you're going. The intermittent windshield wipers don't work when on but when off, work after a bump for 3 or 4 swipes. The car clock alarm goes off at about 11:30AM everyday if you're driving. To turn it off, you must pull over and turn the car off. None of the windows go up. And just yesterday, he ran out of gas. I am still advocating for another new car, but Bruce would like to get 3 more years out of the Subaru. I'm not sure what to make out of the whole situation. I do know that everyone has a "car story". This may give you some idea of how a good part of our summer went. I hope you can laugh along with us as we think it's pretty funny looking back. I'll send you another strange but true story this next week about our ABC store experience. Penny

Penny Thompson from PCC writes:

Good mornig PJ, Here is my first installment about the famous and numerous ABC stores. First, I had heard about ABC stores before actually visiting one this past summer in Waikiki. What I didn't know was how many there really are. Initially, I told Maris she could easily find our hotel/condo by looking for the ABC store on the side street of Seaside. I soon realized there were three just in the one block across from us. It soon became a kind of game to see how many we could count when going places. One day Bruce and I walked the entire main beachfront strip of Waikiki from the park in central downtown to the Aquarium. We counted over 35 ABC stores on just one side of the street. Another night we found a "deluxe" one around the corner from us. It was three to four times bigger than any of the others. We were so thrilled we took Amanda and Maris on a special walk just to see it. You can tell we had developed a unique fondness for them. While we were in Waikiki, the ABC stores were having a receipt contest which, of course, we had to participate in as a family. The deal was that if you collected ABC receipts totaling over $100.00, you received a free mug or 2002 calendar. My family really wanted the calendar and set out to buy as many needed items as possible exclusively from ABC stores. This led to an accumulation of white ABC bags. Well, I couldnot get into the purchase part of the activity, but I decided the bags were a real "keeper." My idea was to take them home and use them to line wastebaskets in both bathrooms. Sooo, our room quickly filled with billowy ABC bags and piles of receipts. Every time housekeeping showed up, Bruce and I would frantically shoo them away from piles of bags and receipts. As time went on, we all began to obsess with the bags and receipts. Amanda, Maris, and Bruce would actually ask strangers for unwanted receipts as they feared we would not make the $100 mark. At one point, I collected bags from other guests in our building. I could not believe they didn't see the potential use for these great white plastic bags with the cut-out handles. Well, the morning we were to leave, Bruce and Amanda added up all the receipts and quickly dashed over to the closest ABC store to get our calendar. I must say it is quite a beauty. The only drawback is it contains only 4 photos which are recylced 3 times each throughout the calendar. Also, I did bring home all the bags which I prouldy use in my bathrooms. I will stop here for now. However, keep in mind that my next I am going to tell you about a recent dream which centers around our experiences with ABC stores. On another note, folks at PCC ask about you often. Let me know if you want anything special from Oregon. Penny

Hi PJ, I know you've probabaly patiently been waiting to hear more about ABC stores, and I do have more to share with you. About three weeks ago, as I was returnig to bed in the middle of the night, I tripped over that bag which holds my supply of ABC store bags. Well, several flew around the room and I walked on them which made a rustling sound that woke Bruce up. I had to turn on the light to gather the bags together. I guess this incident led to my dream involving ABC. I must say it was one of the most vivd dreams I have ever had, so I can remember even the smallest details. The dream began with my family and I back in Waikiki in the same room we had spent our vacation in. We followed pretty much the same routine only this time instead of accumulating $100.00 in receipts from ABC we had to collect 100 ABC bags in order to get a mug or calendar. A lot of the dream included conversation like Amanda telling me that I was ruining her idea of "family togetherness" by not enthusiatically embracing the idea of collecting 100 bags. Finally, after much pressure from everyone, I became the most dedicated collector of bags. In my dream, I would walk the beach picking up stray bags. I made sure I was in the room when housekeeping came so that they dare not touch my bags. Whenever Amanda, Maris, Bruce or I went to an ABC store to buy even a pack of gum, I would insist that the clerk double bag our items so that we could get more bags. They were everywhere in our room, but we didn't care. We really wanted that calendar. Then my dream took a strange twist. We went to a water park with huge slides and a lagoon. (Maris, actually begged us to take her to one when we were in Hawaii, but we didn't.) Anyway, at this water park with every purchase or activity, the staff gave customers ABC bags. If you wanted a beach towel, it came in an ABC bag. When we helped Maris dive and she did a good job, someone would swim over to give her an ABC bag. However, I didn't want anymore bags because I had already saved well over 100 and thought it was wasteful, so I kept refusing to take them. At the end of the day, we found we had bought a lot of stuff, in particular a huge quantity of Wheat Thins. We could not carry all our loot to the car, which for some reason was parked over a mile away, because we didn't have any bags. Now, my family was very upset with me for refusing to take bags all day, but I had an idea. I went to small stand where they sold fried chicken to go packaged in ABC bags, and I persuaded the young clerk to give me some bags for our junk. I got back to my family and began packing our belongings. Then the park public safety officers, two really big men in full uniform came and explained that I couldn't keep the bags because I had not bought any chicken, and they further told me that the young man who had given me the bags had been fired. At this point, all the other water park guests were streaming out of the park past us. The women passing by would talk about me as the poor, stupid woman who didn't understand the value of these bags. Dreams are strange, and at this point, we were suddenly back in our hotel room packing to leave Hawaii. Bruce and Amanda counted our bags and ran off to the ABC store. They came back with the same calendar we really have. In my dream, we discovered the photo recycling scam. (You remember that the real calendar has only four photos, each used three times in the calendar.) Then, just like on a giant billboard with neon lights, I saw the words "RIP-OFF" blink off and on. When I woke up, I was so happy that I had actually saved the bags but still think the calendar is not all it's cracked up to be. I don't have any more ABC stories to share with you, which probably makes you feel lucky. I will tell you about our great Wheat Thins controversy, though, some time this next week. It started in Waikiki and is still going on. PJ, I hope you get some energy back soon. Like many others, I think about you daily. Penny

Hi PJ, Welcome back to Portland! Even though you're not in your own house yet, it must be nice to be in more familiar surroundings. Where to begin the great Wheat Thins story? First, you need to know that WTs have been a family favorite since forever. A box does not last long in the Thompson household. Thus, when we flew to HA, I packed a box to snack on in the plane. Of course, they were all eaten by the time we arrived. Fortunately, one of the airline snacks was individaul WT packages which I promptly stowed away for later consumption. Well, when we got settled in our hotel, I asked the girls to think about what they might like to eat. We had a small kitchen and had decided to eat "in" as much as possible. Off we went to the gorcery store. We bought fruit, cereal, cheese, milk, chips, and a big box of WTs. By noon the next day, the WTs were gone and a big argument about who had eaten them all followed. Bruce then went to an ABC store and bought more which lasted about 30 minutes. The next day I went back to the grocery store and loaded up on WTs. To be honest, I can't remember Amanda or Maris eating anything besides WTs, cereal and fruit the whole time. Anyway, throughout our entire vacation, WTs were a constant source of battle. When we got back to Beaverton, one of the first things I needed to do was grocery shopping. I went to Albertsons and good news! WTs were on sale! I quickly grabbed two big boxes thinking I'd make a lot of friends at home. I had not noticed that one box was "original" and the other was "multi-grain". What a mistake! For days I had to hear how only regular WTs were edible. How could I have made such a mistake! Well, I wasn't happy and I decided I would not buy anymore WTs until all were gone including the multi-grain. Then I began to notice a few in the trash everyday. Bruce, Amanda, and Maris swore they were eating them, and eventually the box was empty. So, on my next shopping trip, I grab a new box of WTs only this time I failed to notice that they were "low salt". Again, not exceptable. I explained that I had not noticed the many variations available. In fact, WTs take up four shelves in the store. They have original, super-size, low salt, sour cream and onion, and multi-grain. The badgering and bickering continued for some time. However, I have solved the problem. Now, I buy only Ritz. This seems to be working just fine. If I can drop off anything for you, PJ, let me know. Again, many people are thinking about you. Penny

Patty- Kristen and I both got the news on Monday. We have been down here, on the other side of the world, sending all of our love and compassion out to Pat and Jack and you, wherever you are. Patty, you don´t know how much you have touched the lives of those that have known you. Kristen and I both have been thinking about you a lot in the past few days, and talking about all our stories of you, and sharing them with other people down here too. My family and Cotton both wrote me to say from the little that they knew of you, you seemed like such an amazing person. And you are. Still, wherever you are. I know that whatever happens in the afterlife, what has happened to you has been the most pure, good, joyful, loving existence possible, because you were nothing but those things. Your laugh still is in my mind, reminding me of the joy with which you filled the world. I love you and miss you very much. And for Pat and Jack, I´m sending all my love and support your way. I know this must be extraordinarily hard for you both, but know that the life that Patty Jeanne lived, which you created, has done an amazing amount of good on this earth. My condolences and my love in the celebration of Patty´s life.

Patty Jeanne, I remember when you first tried to explain cellular automata to me. You described Conway's Game of Life and its Rules of life. Your explanation was succinct and fairly simple (it had to be). Each cell's state, its continuing or ceasing, depended on its neighbors and the Rules used in the program. When you ran the program, a lovely computer tapestry of colors and patterns evolved on the screen. I remember noting that a single cell might continue or cease, but either way it was still present in and affecting the overall pattern of the color tapestry on the screen. Patty Jeanne, you have touched the life "tapestries" of us who knew you. The patterns and richness of those tapestries continue with part of you interwoven into them. I will really miss you, but in a sense you will always be present in my "life tapestry." Thank you for having been a part of it. Rosa

I had told my parents about PJ and when I had complained about being in the hospital for a short time this summer my dad said that I should remember PJ and I thought of her big smile and her positive attitude and it made me smile. That is how I will always remember her with a big smile on her face making others happy! PJ I will miss you!

I would've like to see you and get to you a little earlier, but I couldn't. The important thing is that I do know what you were going through, I had a situation just like yours as soon as I graduated from highschool and bot many people now how does it feels until they go through it. Strong people like us can deal with it, or at leat, we try to so people can have smiles in their faces because thy see us well. I know I am going to miss writing letters and emails to you.

Hi Patty Jeanne: I should have written this sooner, but I don't think anyone ever really knows what to say, regardless of the time. I only knew you in person for eight weeks, but long before your arrival, the sophomores had been preparing us to meet you with all sorts of wonderful stories and tales about you. In the 8 weeks you were on campus and beyond, I saw that you truly were a wonderful person. Even in the midst of your struggles with your treatment, you were so positive about everything! You've become a legend of sorts to be, but more importantly, a source of inspiration and a true friend (I like to think so anyway). The more and more I learn about you, the more and more I am impressed with the amazing person you become in two decades. I'll leave you with a quote. It's a bit inappropriate for this situation, so I'll leave it in this cryptic form, but I have no doubt that you will fully understand it: HP&theSS p297. Best of luck always.

David Covell from Folsom, CA writes:

I am a pending bone marrow transplant patient at Stanford, currently beginning the stem cell mobilization process. I came across PJ's remarkable web site by accident today while doing a search for information about stem cell mobilization. Her charts and data were of immense help in reassuring me that my plummeting blood counts are normal at this point. As such, her web site continues to provide the helpful information she was intent on sharing. More importantly, it led me to read her entire story, and then to read through the guestbook. I was sad to learn only at the end of the guestbook that she had passed on, but her courage and her incredible impact on all of you, and now also on me. On a side note, I am an Intel engineer and have been connected with STS, as have many of you. Coincidence? Maybe not ;^) Finally, since my disease, treatment plan, and prognosis are so similar to PJ's, I am naturally quite curious about why the transplant was not curative. They tell me mine probably won't be either. If anyone would care to share medical details that might help me with what lies ahead and finds it not too painful, I'd welcome email at covell@jps.net . I will be accessing email from Stanford during my transplant next month.

Chris Duffield from Stanford writes:

I was very sad to read about PJ's death in today's paper. I salute her bravery and spirit in the battle that she fought for her life. And I salute the sincere efforts of the health workers who served her. However, I am sad that she did not know about and try an alternative treatment first. Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is a simple modification of chemotherapy that uses the same drugs, only in much smaller doses, boosted by insulin. The insulin apparently selectivley targets cancer cells and boosts their absorption of the drugs. Normal cells are essentially unaffected, so there are usually no side effects. No nausea, no hair loss, less fatigue. And IPT can be used as a first treatment, avoiding surgery and radiation, and their side effects. Sadly, IPT was first used for treating cancer in the 1950s, and has been ignored for half a century, probably because it might disrupt the business of medicine. Happily, more doctors are learning IPT, almost 30 so far in the US, including two in northern California. I hope that someone at Stanford will finally become interested in IPT, and make it available to patients here. You can read all about IPT at http://www.IPTQ.org

I read about your story in Jan 7's Stanford Daily. I was extremely moved. I read your online journal you wrote after you were diagnosed of lymphoma. I couldn't believe your cheerful spirit facing such fatal disease. You were so inspirational! You taught me how we should live our lives. The difficulties we are facing are nothing compared to what you had to fight against. I lost my mom recently to brain tumor, so I could somehow relate to what you went through, such as the radiation therapy and chemotherapy. They were really harmful to a person's health. However, you were always so optimistic! It's a hugh regret that I didn't know you. (I am a Ph.D student in the EE department.) But your story certainly has taught me a lot. I wish you rest in peace. Although you left this world, you have done so much to inpire people who are still here, much more than a lot of people who might live 80 years. To Patty's parents: The pain you are having must be impossible to describe. But I could somehow relate to your feeling because I lost my mom to brain tumor a few months ago. Please accept my most sincere condolence. You had a wonderful daughter! Sam sam.liang@stanford.edu

"I miss her so much, I remember after coming back from Oxford, seeing Patty Jeanne. She was in the car, off in a distance, waving hello. Ecstatic, jumping out. Pale, her hair fallen out, wearing a mask that was pink in color. It was a moment of excitement for her. For me, fear, perhaps. I saw her completely changed from when last I had seen her. Now, she seemed like a cancer patient. Later I found out that this brief encounter made her "sooo" happy. (Tears wanting to fall.) Tears of joy? Of sadness. And when I saw her last, she was again in a car. She was on her way to the Med Center. Frail, weak, or, more accurately, smaller, thinner, with a swirl of hair. She laughed so hard that I told her she should not laugh too hard. Hands trembling, breath/words more difficult to come out, yet happy, singing, full of life. This is Patty Jeanne."

Patty- This is the first time I have visited your website since you died. I guess for so long, I didn't want to belive it, and even now I almost can't. When your mom told me that night, I handed the phone to my mom, started crying, and didn't even speak for over an hour. I have a picture of us inside the lodge at Mt. Hood Meadows the week of Thanksgiving of 2000. It stands proudly on my desk when I'm at school, and on my dresser when I'm at home. It comes with me wherever I travel so that I can always see you. I didn't even notice until about a month ago that we are holding our hands in the same position in our laps (not a very common one, I may add), and it wasn't even planned. I miss you so much. There have been many times that I've called your house to say hello to your parents, when I've almost found myself asking if you were home so I could talk to you too. If only it was that easy. If there were a way by which we could have those long phone conversations again, if I could hear your laugh, hear your enthusiasm as you tell me how much snow has just fallen at the mountain, see the fire in your eyes with every endeavor you took on, feel the warmth in your hugs, and the sincerity in all that you did. Every day, several times a day I think of so many things that I don't want to forget, and I know that you will help me in remembering them. Take the compass now, and help to guide me on the rest of my journey. You know where I need to go and how I have to get there. Your spirit, your legend will never die. You had too much fire inside you for it to every burn out. Every thought, every remembrance from anyone is like the smallest breath that it takes to turn embers into a roraring blaze. May we never stop breathing. All my love, Carole-Anne

But I try to always read and remember the names - the wonderful people; yourself, a former student, a former graduate school colleague, my cousin Lucy, my first wife back in Colorado, a former teacher from OES. Dying is this huge mysterious thing, but you know all about it now. It's obviously not something to fear. We all can do it successfully. So, I think you're not going to read this message on a computer screen, but you will receive my thoughts, and this whole computer interface, at least at this point in the ball game, is just a cumbersome device to help us mortals clarify our thoughts. Even though I haven't written on this guestbook before, know that I've thought of you often. But then I guess you know that anyway. When I finish the Thangka, I will show it to your folks, if they would like to see it. Best wishes, Matt Lyon, your old middle school art teacher.

Hi Patty, Your parents asked me and the rest of the Clarpicz to share our memories of you in Band, so here goes. I remember the first day you joined band during your Frosh Spring, and I was sexion leader (?Mom?). You were psyched and klued from the very beginning; in fact I believe I awarded you ?Most Psyched Frosh? at the Clarpic Banquet that Spring. I remember within a week or two you and Neil had convinced half of your Hall in FroSoCo to join the Clarpicz. You couldn?t wait to get on Chartline and had several songs in mind immediately that you wanted to chart. Before All-Campus that Fall you told me you had lymphoma and had to leave for Oregon that weekend for treatment, but you were back on campus for the night, so you could still do All-Campus. You were determined to have a ball, and you did. I was always amazed at the resilience you showed during the whole period when you were sick. You never lost that sense of humor that all of us Bandies know and love in each other; I wonder whether I would have done the same. You continued to be psyched and klued even while many miles away. I remember you played the ?you? game and convinced more people to join band, although I?m not sure how many of them actually showed up. Two emails from you to clarpicline I remember in particular. One was in response to Matt Lag, who had unwittingly emailed the list about a surprise banner we were sending you; you posted a message that said something to the effect of ?please some one tell me Matt?s email contains a virus and therefore I shouldn?t open it.? The second email was one in response to our brainstorming session for Davis Day Beginnings last Spring in which you presented at least 20 new bits of choreography including: Butterfly (?start by lying on the ground in your cocoon (sp?) and emerge into a flying butterfly?), Sheepdog (?choose one person as the sheepdog and have everyone else be sheep, the sheep wander and make sheep noises, the dog runs around barking at the sheep and keeping them in a group?), and Movie Watching (?everyone sits facing the same direction intently watching a movie (as in a movie theater), eat popcorn, drink soda, turn off cell phones?). Every reprieve you had when you could play with us again was a treasure. Band is for life and beyond; your spirit will be with me, the Clarpicz, and the LSJUMB forever. Love, Liz-Mom (currently great-grandma)

Patty, I've been working with people a lot the past few weeks to plan the dedication ceremony, trying to iron out the logistics and the order of events, but the mood of the event we couldn't plan beforehand, it just had to happen. As it turns out, though it was a cold day (which you would revel in), there was a strong sense of coming together and a warmth in the air--thoughtful yet full of energy. It was you who brought us together yesterday afternoon, not the actual planning of the event. You continue to inspire me with your intelligence and your creativity and your ideas and your wit, and above all your "uff da." "Enthusiasm" is a little weak, and I think only Norwegians know how to express it right. Today I was thinking about our Winterim trip Junior year of high school, when we went backpacking in the canyonlands in Utah and I had to take a math exam on a certain day that was in the middle of the trip. It was going to be an impossible exam for me and I could only hope to get one or two problems right. The day before the exam when we were having lunch, you told me that studies have shown that people who are listening to Mozart score higher on math exams than people who take the exam in silence. So you helped me try to think of and sing as much Mozart music as we could so I could get it stuck in my head for the exam. Well, the one problem I got right on the exam, I am sure was because I had Mozart stuck in my head. Thank you, Patty, for always inspiring me. I miss you so much. Lots of love, Amy Liz

Dear Patty, I tried to get to the memorial service on Monday - I was on BART, I'd figured out the route from Berkeley to Stanford (BART, bus, Caltrain, shuttle - why they don't just run a shuttle directly I'll never know) - when the train stopped just before West Oakland. There had been a "security breach" in the West Oakland station, so there wasn't any BART transbay traffic. By the time I could have picked up a transbay bus, I would have missed the service. I'm sorry I couldn't make it... so I hope that I can say everything I want to say here. I still use the totebag from the event we met at - the International Science and Engineering Fair, 1997. My display was just to the right of yours, and we had a lovely time talking while waiting for the judges to come around. We sat together at the awards ceremony, too. I knew practically nothing about programming at that point, but I thought your CAs were the coolest things ever. As I recall, you won an award for them. My work was nowhere near that good, and I was in awe of yours. Oh, and the guy who was kind of stalking me at ISEF turned out to be a pretty cool guy at CMU. :) After ISEF, we wrote to each other on a very steady basis - every day, every three at the most. Our subject lines weren't just silly things like "hi" or "good morning" or "Re: your mail," either. They were full sentences, and we'd always be carrying out a conversation in them that was totally unrelated to the rest of the e-mail. Once I forgot and you got the same subject line back that you'd sent to me - you didn't let that slide by! No, I got a subject line the next time with a "Are you getting bored with this?" or something like that. :) This is the part that gives me the most pain to write. We pretty much lost touch after you started at Stanford. I must have sent you my e-mail address when I graduated from Carnegie Mellon last year and started grad school at Berkeley, otherwise I wouldn't have heard about the service. It's rather ironic. I was a math major with linguistics and physics minors at CMU, and now I'm a grad student in Logic and the Methodology of Science. I read your "Academics" section on your website, and I see that we were getting closer than ever in interests. Logic, NLP, psychology... I love it all too. I think we'd have more to say to each other now than ever. So, Patty, I'll read a bit of extra philosophy of language for you tonight!

I thought about my father dying of cancer. I read the articles about you and saw the pictures and the video and listened and talked to your friends. I was amazed at how much you had accomplished and how much you enjoyed life. I saw The Band play for you - I think you would have liked that. I saw FroSoCo frosh who didn't even know you come to be part of this celebration and honoring of your life. I released a balloon with others in our community and watched as they quickly flew up to the clouds. I thought about you sitting with your friends in the upper level of Ricker the last time I saw you. You were laughing and joking around with them. I didn't realize we were in the hospital at the same time as I was having Sarah, and that you tried to visit us. I pass by your room and think of you, and I know you will always have a home here and will always be remembered with love. Your bench and your tree outside will be a special place for all of us who live here, and we will tell your story to future students. Your dad said that one of your mottos was "it's better with friends". I've been thinking about that. Whatever it is we have to go through in life, it always is better with friends. How did you get to be so wise and have so much to teach the rest of us? Your parents are two of the best people ("mensch" is the word that comes to mind) that I have ever known. I hope you will continue to travel together like the duck family that came to visit your service. With love, Lisa

I'm putting together a memorial page for you for the FroSoCo yearbook right now, and it's very difficult for me to decide the words that should be placed on your page.

Michael Flocchini from San Francisco writes:

Well, I have to admit I'm a bit taken back at this moment. I've spent considerable time today on Patty's site. I am moved beyond my capabilities to express, articulately, how I feel right now. Simply, I am inspired. You know, I call Pat, Patty's mother, about once a year. Whenever one of Pat's former Instructors calls-like me-it's usually to catch up and ask for a reference. I called Pat about a month ago, and Pat listened attentively to me, as she always had. Afterwards Pat said, "Sounds like you're doing really well. I'd be happy to provide you with a strong recommendation. By the way, I got your messages you left awhile ago, but I've been really very busy." Pat always speaks with an uplifting tone as she nears the end of her sentences. This time was no different. Then Pat told me about Patty. With all that Pat shared, both stories of inspiration and frustration, I promised Pat that I would check out Patty's site. I was compelled. Upon my first visit, about a month ago, I was at work, read a few lines, then stopped. Amazed and touched. Those were my first feelings. Work could not do Patty's story justice for me. Today is August 25, a peaceful Sunday morning in SF. I've been on this site now for awhile. Thank you for being inspiring Patty. Pat and Jack, I wish you all the best and pray you are comforted by fond and loving memories of Patty. I believe this site is such a tremendous testament of Patty's ambition and love of life. Never having met Patty, I felt an introduction to her this morning. I will look forward to continuing to visit her site. My prayers to you Pat and your family.

Dear Patty- I missed you this weekend. In fact, I missed you quite often this summer. I spent it in Chile, working in rural development. It was kind of strange to be back there again, where I was when I heard the news of your passing. I remember how distant I felt from everyone back here. And at the same time, it was a wonderful experience to be there again, and to think of you. And this weekend I was thinking of you and wishing you were here. And then today my mom visited me and brought me a package that your parents had sent me, of the video of your memorial servie and some pictures they had taken. I am so grateful to have this memory to add to the many memories of you that I have. Know that I love you, and think of you. Love, Daisy

I have just spent hours reading every word of Patty Jeanne's remarkable journey. I came upon the site after my husband's recent diagnosis of NHL. In the midst of all of the scientific and medical information her voice reached out to me like a beacon. I was stunned and speechless to realize that the entries stopped because of her death and feel as if I've lost a friend. How is it that someone so young and ill can elicit that kind of connection with words on a screen? To Patty Jeanne's parents... your loss is immeasurable, I know, but please take solace in the fact that her powerful spirit still lives in these pages. Instead of feeling less hopeful after realizing her struggle ended in death, and fearful that my husband's may do the same, I feel inspired by the way in which she lived her life. Thank you.

As Thanksgiving Break nears, I can't help but be reminded of last year, when I was so worried about you in the hospital, and so far in denial of how close you were to the end.

Suddenly I had the desire to reach into the room, as if reaching into space. I felt as though this gesture was almost assisting the communication. I was not saddened at all by being there, but instead I had feelings of peace, solice, energy, concentration, and dedication all at the same time. Thank you for providing all these things to me by way of spirit-to-spirit communication in a world of distractions that makes us forget them so frequently. I love you, Carole-Anne

Hey PJ--I just got some great pictures in the mail yesterday from your parents. They were the photos from your memorial service here at Stanford. My how quickly time flies, that was about a year ago now and I can hardly believe that at all. Its so good to read about eveyone's recent reflections, but still I can't help but miss you. On another note, I was over at FroSoCo last week doing announcements. Since they had hall meetings, I had to make the trip up to the 3rd floor of Schiff. As always, our one room triple room door was wide open and it was the center of social life for the hall. You wouldn't believe it, but the girls who now live in our room have it set up almostly exactly as we had it. The beds are over in the alcove and they have sheets and cloth hanging down to make it a bit more private. There are desks exactly where you and I had ours and Jen's had a little bed where her desk was. Ah, good times. It feels like yesterday but also ten years ago. Miss and love you, Kristen

I gotta say it's a funny feeling I get writing in your guestbook, Patty. I had my Tai-chi lesson this evening. It's improving my posture - you know - I have a general problem slouching. I watched Much Ado About Nothing, put on by the Stanford Shakespeare Society. They made it into a sort of musical, with the music of George and Ira Gerswhin. It was really fun to watch. Amy and I were just talking about you the other day. We thought back to Psych40 and the one time in Morris's room we were discussing the experiment I had volunteered to do in class. Been reading a book entitled Genes, People, and Languages. It goes through a brief history of Homo Sapiens. I feel very human, very mortal, when I think of things in terms of GENERATIONS of people, and I especially feel my mortality when I am tired, and I know that have to sleep. It's a biological limitation that I run up against every day. I hope the Undiscovered Country is not too boring for you, that there is enough mischeviousness to keep things interesting.

Patty, I wake up every morning, get out of bed, and see a picture of us on my dresser. That picture goes with me wherenever I travel, and is with me at school too. Not an hour goes by each day that I don't think of you. Every night I go to bed knowing what time it is via the clock you gave me. Tonight I got home from spending two days at Stanford for the commencement ceremonies. I remembered being there with you when you took such care and joy, and probably too much energy to show me around the campus. Parts of these last couple days somehow reminded me of different memories that we share: Helen Gordon, Nor'Wester, "Bud-Biz," and a few others. There was such a feeling of unity and pride there, and I know that during your time there you greatly contributed to that as well. Obviously the reason for this weekend was to celebrate the graduation of those who had worked so hard to get to that point. But more than that, it is to celebrate all their precipitating accoplishments. Also it is to give them a foundation to henceforth expound from, making each individual feel the potential that he or she has inside. My trusty Oxford dictionary defines a 'celebration' to be engaging in a ceremony of public praise. The celebration of this weekend celebrated past feats as well as those to come. Anyone who has accomplished anything, or just as impoortantly: has visions and goals, cannot do it alone. Thank you for being such an example of both countless accomplishments (both public and private) and inspirational goals. I will celebrate you, for you, with you- forever. I love you, Carole-Anne

With her tremendous ambition, and love of college life at Stanford, I have a hunch she would have been here with those of us who opted for grad school. I'm glad that Patty's presence was felt, in full force and in a positive way, during commencement last June. It proves that Patty Jeanne really is with us, just in a different way.

Hello Patty Jeanne - Thinking of you and your folks. Hope all is well and that you're still celebrating somewhere. Jen (current Mom) posted a random Yahoo game to clarpicline and I figure out how to play it very well, but I'm sure you would have conquered it by now.

We lit your candle Christmas Eve and it is still burning. I pulled out that adorable photo of you and Amber at her art show when you were in first grade. How I love that picture of you two darlings. We had our day after Christmas dinner last night. Your dad said you would have loved the brie / cranberry / pine nuts hors d'oeuvre. Truthfully, it was quite good. We laughed, remembered, told stories and said your name often. I realized how much your dad must miss discussing his BIG ideas with you. How we all miss you. Becky

I usually have music playing in my room, majority of the time classical music. As the playlist scrolls through, it occassionally comes to Chopin's Nocturnes, which had been a favorite listen of mine since I got it my freshman year in college. However, it is also notable because a part of it was played at the beginning of Patty Jeanne's memorial service. When the playlist wraps around to that, I always think of Patty. Today was one of those days.

Patty- 3 years. I can't believe it. I spent almost my entire day today at Helen Gordon, and so many memories of our time there together came back to me. The rainbow room, trikes on the playground, whispering from our cots during naptime, the touch table, the cook (he's the only staff member still there and he remembers our teachers!), velcro numbers on the calendar, and so many other little things.

Patty- When I wrote 2 years ago this day, I mentioned a 2-year period of time- we were 2 when we met. Today is 4 years- I gave you Chicken Pox when we were 4. Friends share everything, right? :) Lucky for us, having it at the same time meant we still got to play together! Today has been a day of 29's. Of course today's date... But even more than that: I clocked in to work today at 8:29- not intentionally. That's what time the automated voice told me. My mom sent me a text message telling me she was thinking about you a great deal. When I closed my cell phone I saw the time change over from 11:28 to 11:29. I'm doing research with mice, and a new study officially started today- with 29 mice. When I went to the staff lounge to heat up my lunch, the clock on the microwave read 12:29. What it all means, I don't know. I'm at a stressful time in my life right now, and maybe it's your way of telling me you're right here with me. So thank you. I don't think things happen just by chance, even if we are brought to tears not being able to know why. And I don't believe for a minute that time heals all wounds. Maybe physical ones sometimes, but not emotional wounds. I miss you as much today as I did 4 years ago, and every day in betweeen. I love you, Carole-Anne

Happy Birthday! So this marks 2 1/2 decades in a most increadible way! Even in your absence you continue to bring light into people's lives. Thank you for bringing your light into my first month of marriage and 3 weeks of grad school. I'll still need and appreciate it every day to come. Zach and I went camping at a hot springs for labor day weekend and I had to jump 3 feet off a log before I fell becuase of my fabulous balancing abilities. It's gone downhill since gymnastics and camp ropes-course days. It reminded me of bouncing on trampolines and manouvering ropes and walls with you. Now back to hundreds of pages to read every week for my own classes, grading undergrad online assignmnets for the TA, preparing 3 term papers of my own and vaguely thinking of a thesis topic. Busy days but fun too. Happy birthday. I love you. ~Carole-Anne

I was elated in 3rd grade coming to OES. I was sad going off to different colleges, but with the dawning of email I knew it would be ok. I missed you when I learned you were sick, and wanted to come home right away. I loved skiing with you one last time, but was hurting to see you become tired faster than usual. But you were there. I miss you still even when you are so close, but I can't see you smile, hear you laugh, or feel a hug. Out of sight, forever in my soul, I miss you. Love, Carole-Anne

So I just kept that in mind, stopped and got directions, and we found it. I hope you like your flowers.

Not too difficult to imagine you and Amber on the front row. they even sang "tomorrow will be my dancing day" and "o holy night.

One of my favorite memories is our canoe trip that turned into a spontaneous rock-climbing adventure where we were both complimented on our climbing abilities and creative tactics. That memory reminded me of our day at Stoneworks when we discovered why anchors are recommended when belaying... Thank you for still making me smile. I miss you, as always. Love, Carole-Anne

I always miss you over Labor Day, whether it's your birthday weekend or not. Labor Day means bbq's, and for some reason bbq's remind me of camp, and I always associate camp with you.
