4th of July party this weekend!

Bring a dish to share and don't forget to practice for the games!

Also:

Just a note for anyone going to the 4th of July party.  Dan is going to be there and is looking forward to seeing all of you, but please remember that he has 2 broken shoulders. Don't try to slap him on the back or pat him on the shoulder, even a handshake is painful. Kisses from the girls are probably fine though, the big flirt!

News about Dan

(This is Kathy, posting for Dan)
Hi folks, I'm back in the hospital again. Started having some back problems and the doctors wanted to do a biopsy on my back before they injected the cement to support the bone, to make sure there was no cancer in there. To do the biopsy they knocked me out so they could move me around and while they were doing that my shoulder was injured. Turns out there is a tumor in my shoulder that weakened the bone so my shoulder is broken now, and the biopsy also showed there is cancer in my spine.

Because of all the complications they're still figuring out the treatment, which will involve rehab and radiation. In any case, I'm going to be in here a while and obviously won't be doing the newsletter. I gave Boyd discs with all the files I use so someone else can get going on it.

I appreciate everyone's support and good thoughts

Dan's in Beaumont Royal Oak, but they're moving him to a different room soon so if you'd like to call or visit him text me at 248.977.8362 (tell me who you are because I don't have many of you in my phone) Once they move him to rehab I'll add a comment to this post with his room and phone.
