Hi everyone; background-color:
Sally and I just got off the phone with John Bowman, PP Ocean View Chapter #34. He underwent surgery last week, is home and doing really well. Those of you who know John, know how he likes to joke around. Well, he was in rare form, joking and in great spirits. That let us know he is feeling quite well. It was a pleasure to talk to him and a blessing to know he is doing so good. Our prayers have been answered.
Cards can be sent to">

We also talked to George Ganter, PGP who had cateract surgery earlier this week. He also is doing well. Again, our prayers have been answered.
