Word on the street is that the latest edition of "Notes" is in the mail - and has even been received already by some  :o

I hear it's a great issue - no pun intended  ::)

Hope mine arrives soon,

Jan:

If 'Notes' has been published and mailed, I should have mine in, oh, about three weeks or so.  We'll see.  Thanks for the heads-up.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I got mine here in Germany on Friday.  I thought it always took so long to recieve mail from the USA but I guess not.  Info on the 19th National Symposium in Chicago is inclosed, sure wish I could come, my parents only live 2 1/2 hours south of Chicago.

My newsletter came today too.      Yeah! 
      I do not think the registration fee varies by dates as it does so much in the past.    Good way to do it.                 I hope those who may need help can get it via the scholarship fund.
     Iowa is in the middle of the next snow.          Only 3"-5" this time.

Got mine yesterday and I was one of the last to get it last time like Lori - so maybe they did turn the list upside down this time.

Cindy,

They must not have wanted us to complain this time!   ;D  I don't blame them one bit!! 

I am amazed that it made it to Germany before Chicago though!  Go figure!

Isn't it kind of ironic that the title of this thread is "LATEST newsletter" and we all talk and wonder WHO will be the one to get it the LATEST?  Maybe it will be the one who started this thread...just a thought... ;)

You may be right, Kay.  I started this thread and I've yet to see my newsletter.

Interesting it's made it all the way to Canada and Germany - and Tennessee - but not to Illinois yet  ::)

Perhaps the cold weather - or now the snow - has slowed it down.  Or, maybe like you say, I just haven't been as good as Lori lately  :D

Dan in Germany, wish you could attend the symposium; I'm looking forward to meeting as many "forumites" as possible.  Perhaps it's time to pay a visit to mom & dad.

Francesco,

I thought it was an absolutely wonderful article you wrote!  I did enjoy it!  And you should put your picture on the forum - you're a cutie!   ;)
