Friends, I received a phone call from my brother tonight that I should "come soon" if I want to say goodbye to my dad. The assisted living facility where he lives had a flu epidemic (him included) and he is not recovering well--also has lost his will to live--has not eaten for three days and says he just wants to go be with Mom. So Barb and I will be traveling to Oregon next Wed to Sun (3/9-3/13). Ray
