Re: Any "old timers 1997-2002" still around?

Debs,

Of course I remember you!!!!

No, just thought I would check in and share what I found out regarding the

stem cell treatment/trials as they are doing a lot of the trials in
Topeka, 
Kansas and I live about an hour away.  I moved up to Kansas 6 years ago to

be with my father as he is battling brain cancer and after almost 6 years 
he's about done as his memory is almost gone, but I am so glad I came here

as we have had a lot of good time together.

I sure hope all is well with you and it was great to hear from you.

Ken
