You know I will keep not only Kim but you as well in my prayers. After
surviving breast cancer, I can tell you there is nothing more powerful.
She is so young to have heart disease, but then Tom's dad had no idea
that he had problems and only lived to be 49 yrs old so she is very
fortunate that she had the heart attack and that they were able to put
the stent in and found other issues that can be treated so it won't be
long and she will start to feel healthy like never before. Please keep
me posted and if we can't get together before the reunion, we will see
you there. By the way Karen Carpenter Millar contacted me and told me
she has lived in the Indy area for many years and wanted to join us for
lunch but we will wait until you are able to come south!!!

Hi Ann,
I don't know if you've noticed that my e-mails have fallen off lately,
almost entirely in fact.? I know this is answering one of your messages
from quite a while ago, but I wanted to get in touch with you quickly
and this was the quickest way.? My oldest daughter, Kim, who is
forty-three years old,?had a major heart attack this past Thursday and
when we got her into the hospital by ambulance, they also discovered
that she has very progressed diabetes to the point they have to put her
on insulin shots immediately.? Added to that is they also discovered
that she has extremely high blood pressure.? They ended up placing two
stents (spelling ?) in the one of the main arteries in her heart as it
was 100% blocked.?
This means some recovery time for her, of course.? I wanted to get this
to you ASAP too, because my trip down to Indiana during the dates I
talked to you about, is now in question.? I'll have to keep you posted
as we go along here.? I am getting ready to pick her up from the
hospital in a couple of hours this morning--------will write again as
soon as I can get some kind of handle on things.??
To any of you?who are prayer warriors, please pray for her recovery and
her health overall, and that she can by some miracle adapt easily to all
the things that are going to have to change in her life now.??
Fondly,
Barb?

This will be great. It has been such fun to reconnect with so many from
the class of 1959. It will make seeing everyone that much more special.
Thanks,

Subject: Ottawa '59 Email List
The private emails I received indicated that a discussion list for the
1959 Ottawa grads would be useful to eliminate the cc list.
There are 79 of us on the list - if you have email addresses for others
you think might not be on, send them to me in private email.
To post to the list, you can either hit "reply" or send the post
to:
ohhs59@venus.soci.niu.edu
(NOTE: Careful when you hit the return key that you don't send out a
private not to everybody)
If you want to be removed from the list, let me know in private email.
A few people have suggested a temporary homepage for putting up names,
email addresses of those who want to share them, reunion details, maybe
scanned pages of our year book pictures from 1959, links to homepages
that some of might already have, Facebook invitations, and
anything else that would be fun. I can put up something primitive and
quick if a homepage sounds useful, but if anybody wants to volunteer to
design something, let me know.
If there's interest in keeping it all going after the reunion, we can do
something more permanent.
Jim
