Congratulations Becky and Mary Lou!!! As one who served on that council for more years than I care to think about, I am, for the first time I can remember, thrilled with the result of the elections!!!Two Acb-ers! I never thought I'd see that happen! Thanks for the updates on Carol, and have a great time in New Orleans.

Her cell phone connections was pretty broken up, but she did say that Carol is "semi-conscious" and moves her hand in answer to questions. She's still on the ventilator. Her mom is traveling back and forth between Rochester and home. I asked if there was anything she needed and she said no, other than our continued prayers. Secondly, I just got back from the State Rehab. Council meeting, and elections were held for chair and vice chair for next year. The new chair is Mary Lou Mendez and the new vice chair is yours truly. We're looking forward to working together. I'm off to New Orleans for the big O. and M. conference, should be interesting, eh? Hope you're all enjoying the pre-holiday festivities! Bye for now, Becky
