ONE MORE THING

In my hurriedness I forgot to mention a special event we were able to attend when we were in Ohio. A little background first. We became aquainted with a future lung transplant person through the National Transplant Assistance Fund (www.transplantfund.org ) He happens to be from Wooster Ohio. The NTAF is a fundraising tool to assist with people who have had transplants or have had catastrophic illnesses. Anyway, this mans family and friends were having a fundraising breakfast and silent auction in the Wooster area. Since Monica is familiar with the area, we went there to introduce ourselves. We had only briefly talked over the internet. It was so cool to meet them and to show some support to them. They truly seemed happy that we showed up. It also turns out that Monica knew the man's brother and sister in law from attending church with them a few years back. This man is still waiting for his transplant and has been on the waiting list for 2+ years. If you happen to go the NTAF web site, just type in the last name of Patterson. The directions are easy to follow after that. So for all of our Ohio family and friends in the Wooster area, please drop him a line and show him and his family support. Thanks!
