Patti would be proud of her brother. As parents, we are proud, too. All four siblings graduated college as ambitious, productive workers with a great value on friendships: Patti - Drexel University & Penn State University MBA, Barb - University of Delaware, Gina - St. Joseph’s University, and now Pete - Loyola College of Maryland.

While the current economy presents a serious challenge to his first goal of finding meaningful employment, we have no doubt that Pete, like his sisters, will continue to be successful and happy with wonderful friends.

Prayers and good thoughts do help…..Sally’s major surgery went well last Thursday, and she was not only home on Saturday, but went to church with the family on Sunday. Amazing, but not really surprising, Sally is planning on doing the Denver Komen 3-Day in August. More to follow on that.

Check out the pics of Sally, family, and Colorado

Not only will our Patti be honored in this epic event this coming October (more to follow for your donation), but Kelli and Jeannette our planning to do this in 2010, so save up. Maybe you care to join them? It’s an inspiring and worthwhile display of support and solidarity.

Despite the rain that thinned the turnout, there were plenty of racers and walkers with creating sunshine with their smile. New babies from Robyn, Gina, and Kim were terrific additions to the happy gathering of wonderful friends. It was great seeing all of you again. Thanks for donating, too.

Our dear friend Sally is undergoing major surgery May 7, 2009, in Colorado. Contact Sally or Tony for additional information.

Pictures posted in the album. Many, many thanks to Patricia, Cassandra, and all the Tri-State Valley Girls for this wonderful accomplishment. It was a wonderful day at the Komen cheering station. After 4 hours, I had to leave, but the Walk was still in progress. Amazing. About 99% were female, and 99% were smiling, some were in obvious discomfort, but all were encouraged by the cheering.

See below for more info including the link to the Team members.
