Getting Healthy Again

James will be admitted to University of Chicago hospital on June 12 to repair his aortic graft.
Sending GOOD THOUGHTS for a speedy recovery. Let us know how we can help. I understand, he's expected to be in the hospital for about 10 days. I'll keep you updated on his progress. Cards and letters will be appreciated.

Joe (Whitey) has finally been placed on the Lung Transplant List, so now we wait for the call. You are all unofficially on my "Support list" and I appreciate appreciate knowing that, more than you can even imagine. Thanks in advance.

Trips

Marlee is on her way to Israel! She departed from the Newark airport this afternoon. She is attending a Birthright Israel trip for college students with the Chicago Community trip provider, Shorashim. What is unique about the Shorashim trip provider is that for the entire 10 day trip, the participants are accompanied by young Israeli soldiers (men and women) who act as their security and tour guides. The Birthright Israel trip is an amazing opportunity for any post HS Jewish youth between the ages of 19-26.

Greg, Jennifer and the boys are off to Minoqua, WI for the weekend. That should be a perfect weekend for them. A cabin in the woods, I hope it's warm enough to enjoy the lake.
