FAMILY NEWS

GLENN

We were sad to learn this week that Glenn Winters passed away in Spokane. The last period of his life was difficult, and we have not seen him for awhile. We certainly have great memories of a wonderful person who really liked coming to visit the family in the Cartwright area when he was able to travel. He will be missed.

TUCSON

We signed a lease today for a condo in Scottsdale, where we will move at the end of March. It is near Kierland Commons (a really interesting upscale shopping and restaurant area) in the north part of the city, and will be a great place for walking. It is also within about 10 minutes of the Mayo Clinic Hospital--one of the primary reasons we are moving. The hospital has the reputation of being the best in Arizona, and among the best in the country.

Unfortunately, I visited the Emergency Room of University Hospital in Tucson earlier in the week, in the middle of the night, after developing symptoms of a possible stroke or heart attack. After nine hours of tests and seeing four doctors, the evidence was that there was no heart attack or stroke. We got a lot of mixed signals, and varying negative experiences, that made us think it was not the place to go for a serious condition. So, I checked out against the last doctor's advice, and headed for Scottsdale where I had further tests (mostly gastrointestingal)the next day at Mayo Clinic. They did not identify anything serious, although all of the tests are not complete. It was another very good Mayo Clinic experience!

Cheers,

Bill and Marie
