[Oe List ...] LEP in Maryland

Wed Feb 11 11:29:54 EST 2009

Larry,
I have a condo in Annapolis, MD that you are welcome to stay at. Will you
have a car?  It's about 45 - 60 minutes from Potomac MD depending on
traffic.

Dear Colleagues

I am going to a training session for some work with the UN.  The session 
is in Potomac MD on the 24th and 25th of February.  I need a place to 
stay for one night the 22nd. My arrival time is not certain since I am 
still arranging the ticket.  Is there anyone near Potomac who has a room 
or a bed I can use for a night?

Sorry about the late notice but I was not going to be able to attend and 
now I am.

With respect, Larry

Larry, Would a bed in Baltimore help? That's where my daughter lives. I'll
talk to her. (That's Tabitha Stewart.) Let me know. Ann

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Mid-January Ron was 
hospitalized at Rochester Methodist Hospital at Mayo to treat a 
severe reaction to chemotherapy. We returned home on Friday January 
23rd with encouragement to contact hospice.

The next week we had an appointment with Ron's oncologist at Mayo. 
Basically chemotherapy is toxic to Ron's body and doing more harm 
than good. He recommended stopping treatments, both infusion and 
pills. There is the option of entering a Phase 1 drug trial - the 
first trials after testing on animals. Phase 1 trials are not 
designed for effectiveness of a drug but to determine safety and 
tolerability, have the most potential risk and the least likelihood 
of benefit, adding only a couple of weeks to life.  Ron's quality of 
life will be best without any further treatment and hospice care will 
be the most helpful in extending the length and quality of his life. 
At the end of the visit with his doctor, Ron asked that since he is 
no longer on chemotherapy and his liver isn't in as much danger, if 
he could have a martini. The doc had a good laugh and said "yes". So 
we had martinis that night and Ron had his first solid food in a 
while, a well chewed olive...

Ron's spirits, mind and sense of humor are all in good shape. He is 
on a liquid diet because of obstructions in the intestinal tract 
caused by both the cancer and chemotherapy. The Hospice crew is great 
and are helpful with nutritional information, general encouragement 
and now pain management. Last week Ron began experiencing significant 
pain, is receiving pain medication as needed and remains comfortable. 
We are out and about some, taking in local concerts when possible and 
are both enjoying visits from friends and family. Of course Ron loves 
talking with people and a few folks stop by every day to talk.

Next week Ron will be speaking with members of Junto, a group of men 
in town who meet regularly for an evening of conversation about 
education, philosophy, spirituality, practical application, 
invention, wisdom-sharing, poetry, music, and politics. The 
invitation says, "Imagine that this older brother is struggling 
with  terminal cancer, and that he has the courage, insight, humor 
and energy to share his life's story, reflections, and emotions with 
you while he lives" - it will be a great evening. Ron plans to begin 
his story with the Prologue to Saviors of God. The invitation came 
via our former UMC pastor, an Academy grad, now the District 
Superintendent and another man who was in the Faith Journey Retreat 
that John and Lynda Cock offered through our church in the spring of 2007.

We are treasuring our time together and are being well cared for by 
kids, grandchildren, extended family, friends, the food co-op 
community, the Northfield community and...of course our foundational 
community - all of you. We are grateful for your presence, for the 
notes, poems, prayers, books, music, stories, and good wishes many of 
you have sent our way.

Grace and Peace,
Beret & Ron

"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition,
on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation,
and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize
gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the
spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult
task."                      - President Barack Obama, Inauguration Speech,

Marie Sharp I think still lives in D.C. - which according to Google Earth is

about 20 miles from Potomac.  She would know other area colleagues.  If you 
don't have a directory, give me a private message & I'll send contact info. 
Good for the UN to get your skills & wisdom.  Janice Ulangca
