Thank you.

Glad you will be coming. Bring some of those other MWLFA rascals.

John -
I'm glad things are okay for Dolly. I have a friend in her early 30s and she is on a 4 month follow up schedule, so I have seen how hard this can be to go through.

Jeff

I was glad to have spent the little time I did on Saturday with the group. It was good to see some new faces at the gathering, too. I've already got the September dates on my calendar.

Also, anyone going to the Camera show on the 28th? I certainly don't need anything, but if anyone wants to meet up for a lunch afterward, I'm up for that.

thanks, Jeff

Thanks Jeff.

Our best wishes for your friend. We were very lucky this time. There are so many that are not. Several Apug friends have told us privately of their less happy experience. I hope they will accept our prayers, hopes and good wishes.

We were so impressed with the huge, brand new, Women’s Heath Care facility, the fact that they could take Dolly on short notice, have a specialist examine and evaluate the images at once, and that this was absolutely free to someone walking into the Cleveland Clinic. We asked twice if they wanted to see our insurance card. Some one has donated a lot of money for a very good cause. If that is not an incentive for an annual examine I don’t know what is.

There were signs everywhere proclaiming that the Clinic is rated the 4th best hospital in the US, thanking both employees and patients. A big thank you from John & Dolly.

Jeff,

We are glad you came. It is the people who attend that make these events what they are. We just order the porta potty, mow the lawn and provide the crazy dogs.

Baring unforeseen surprises, of which we are painfully aware, I plan to go to the show and am always happy to see us work up a group lunch.

For more specifics, here is what is on the Photorama site
“Sunday August 28th

If you come by Ohio Turnpike it is Exit 173.

This is right across the street from the Richfield Family Restaurant where we breakfasted the Saturday of our gathering.

If anyone wants to come, camp over night, shoot early and attend the show, our back yard awaits you.

That is not usual Clinic practice. They normally want to examine your insurance card very closely before they examine you. If it doesn't pass muster, or you don't have one, they will call an ambulance to take you elsewhere.
