Recently, Floyd & I have been writing more
about our online-research about cancer, the cost of surviving, etc. . . . than we
have been writing about our adventures on the Delta.

Nevertheless, it did.
As a child would . . . Floyd asked me
“How come there are so many awareness days?"
“How come there are so many awareness days?"

Before we leave or return to a safe harbor . . .
Floyd & I will always reflect that our adventure
to create awareness 2 find a cure 4 cancer is only one
of over a thousand, important, events
that bring all people to the belief that
“we are all in the same boat”.
Floyd & I feel that there are
not enough
Floyd & I feel that there are
not enough
Awareness Days
and “too many” are not included on these lists.
In every community . . .
neighbors and friends remember the loss of their loved ones,
everyday . . .
The "day of memory", for most folks
does not make the headlines in newspapers,
nor make a national list of days to remember.
neighbors and friends remember the loss of their loved ones,

leave for you."
Til’ we chat again, Floyd & Joe
Please find
