Mark you are NOT too late. I have checks sitting on my desk. I was waiting too, but for different reasons. I had a cancer blood test done in November--the numbers were up a bit. I was to go in for another draw in December, but I didn't want bad news before Christmas. I put it off until this week. I prayed a lot, and had the test one more time. The oncologist called yesterday with good news. I was back in the SAFE range once again. Thank God. One year of chemo was more than enough for me. But the checks are still sitting here, as IF I had cancer again--they would have been returned, and that would have been the end of PACK. BUT--I am fine as far as the cancer goes, for now, and PACK will go out the end of this month for yet another year, God willing, and the creek don't rise. Thanks to all you PACK members!! There will be a Birthday gift in the February newsletter. Please send your dues ($10) to me today. Patty Lamb
