[Oe List ...] Bill and Barbara Alerding

[James Wiegel]

Well, Barbara is disciplined.  That has certainly been the case, and continues.  Bill introduced me to Chevas Regal at the program center (albeit in a washed out, styrofoam coffeecup).

When physicians were given a gift a bag of candy they were better at integrating case information and less likely to become fixated on their initial ideas and coming to premature closure in their diagnosis.  --  Some study I read about somewhere

We arrived at the Spring Mill Meadows nursing home at about 2:30 pm. Barb's roommate told us that Barb was likely in the "small dining room -- go to the end of the hall and enter through the door at the left." There were two patients, attended by two aides, all sitting at a table, where Barb sat in a wheelchair. Her aide kept urging her to swallow her food and finish her meal. Barb's response was "My mother always told me to chew every bite 40 times." When we left (about 45 minutes later) Barb was still chewing. That exercise confounded the conversation somewhat, but she was quite upbeat and certainly was pleased to have us there.

We have many fond memories of Barb and Bill dating back to 1968. and trust both will recover well and soon be back home.  Shall follow your advice for "snail mail."  Is Barbara in the same hospital?

Bills sister put an anouncement out to personal fiends and their local network. Barbara has been in the a hospital situation as well recovering from back problems.

They hope that rehab can be effective. Not knowing their e-mail situation it might be best to send "Ye old snail mail card".
