Joe, his brother Norm and I went to their high school in Lancaster, CA on Friday and to Whittier College for homecoming on Saturday. Joe actually got out on the golf course with his high school friends, had lunch with some more friends and then crashed. After sleeping and dealing with bowel issues, Joe rallied and made it to the game where he and his brother (along with others) were honored as the Spirit of the Year for their Senior year. After that we attended a nice reception where he got to visit with so many people from his past. Thank you Mark and Karen for taking such good care of us!!

Saturday morning we headed to Whittier where we each attended our Fraternity/Sorority brunches. There was an outdoor reception after the brunches. Unfortunately, Joe became very sick and had to leave shortly after arriving at the event. He did get to visit with several folks, but his body just wasn't cooperating. I'm sorry for those we did not get to see, but hopefully we can come back next year and stay for the event.
This weekend was tough on Joe physically, but such a boost for him mentally. It was also a huge boost for me as well. Joe and I were able to visit with so many of you, as well as meet some of you for the first time. I have to tell you that we have been talking about all of you the entire day. You just have no idea how special all of you are to us and how much we treasure the kindness and words of encouragement we received. Thank you Anna and Doug for taking care of us in Whittier!

Even though we are both tired and Joe has been in bed all day since arriving home, the mental boost is just overwhelming. We will always treasure this weekend and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
XOXO
