041302 -
041303 - 1. Subject: Thanks for Wonderful Visit
041304 - Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 14:50:05 -0700
041312 - ..
041313 - 2. Thanks very much for being gracious and generous hosts during
041314 - my visit a few weeks ago. [...arriving 100829, 100829 0700,
041315 - ref SDS 36 PQSV...] Had a great time. [...departing on 100911,
041316 - 100911 0800, ref SDS 40 WB7O...] Almost sent Millie a letter
041317 - to drop everything and join us. She would have loved just
041318 - getting pictures of us at Yankee Stadium, at the Guggenheim, St
041319 - Patrick's, on the John Deere, Grand Central Station, et al.
041321 - ..
041322 - 3. I did that one year with Diane. In about 1973 or so, visited a
041323 - friend in Williamsburg, VA. Called Diane and she got on a
041324 - plane and flew out that night.
041326 - ..
041327 - 4. Meeting your friends was a highlight of the visit. You have a
041328 - terrific dynamic socializing with personalities who are
041329 - complimentary and reinforce a strong spirit of community.
041330 - ...[for example the party on 100903 2016, ref SDS 37 585L, and
041331 - the night before returning home, 100910 2000, ref SDS 39
041332 - FW5G...] Who says football is just for brawny guys??? All of
041333 - your sons brought together these wonderful people. I cannot
041334 - overstate appreciation for the warm welcome and interest the
041335 - group and each individually expressed in me. Mike and Kelly,
041336 - Marty and Sandy, George and Dina - your friends made me feel
041337 - part of the group, not as a passing stranger. [...following up
041338 - toast thanking everyone on 100910 2000. ref SDS 39 SM4L...] As
041339 - an observer, you all interact so beautifully it seems like a
041340 - well written movie with Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Spencer
041341 - Tracy, Jimmy Stewart, Betty Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Meryl
041342 - Streep - who have I left out??? You will have a hard time
041343 - replicating this if relocation to Paso Robles comes about. I
041344 - was there only 2 weeks, and felt a loss giving up that joyous
041345 - comradery. I know - shoveling snow is just around the
041346 - corner.... but still???
041347 -
041348 - [On 100926 1325 letter asks Ross to forward to Kelly,
041349 - ref SDS 43 0Y3Y, with link to memoriam for Millie reported
041350 - on 100731. ref SDS 19 RJ5H
041352 - ..
041353 - 5. Claudia, you and Ross have a great thing with work outs in the
041354 - gym. Millie saved my life with a regimen hiking at Lafayette
041355 - Reservoir for several years before heart surgery. My intent
041356 - was to help her build synergy between exercise and treatment
041357 - that strengthens the immune system to resist cancer, reported
041358 - by Doctor Johnson on 031205. ref SDS 2 7C6W
041360 - ..
041361 - 6. It worked well for Mil, but also for me. The medical team all
041362 - said that being in good condition brought me through in better
041363 - shape than most. While we cannot avoid evolving genetics of
041364 - age, in that time seems constant in the universe, you have made
041365 - exercise a life style that makes life worth living for a long,
041366 - long time. Hugs to you.
041368 - ..
041369 - 7. Ross, thanks for throwing the football around, and checking me
041370 - out on the John Deere lawnmower. Great fun. Golf was fun too.
041371 - Forearms got sunburned wearing a short sleeved shirt. Knew
041372 - that was a mistake, but tried to fit in.
041374 - ..
041375 - 8. This evening, may get to Stu's paper "On Beauty Analogy Essay:
041376 - Vision". Thanks for giving the opportunity to comment. [...
041377 - shown in Ross' letter received on 100916 2019. ref SDS 41
041378 - BY5H...]
041380 - ..
041381 - 9. Met Doctor Schell on the flight home. Gathered that his
041382 - practice is "urology" at the VA in Brooklyn. Took the occasion
041383 - to relate excellent care at the VA in San Francisco for heart
041384 - surgery. Was stunned by the doctor's comments on SDS improving
041385 - memory, based on watching me enter the record earlier in the
041386 - flight. [...reported on 100911 0800, ref SDS 40 UT4F...] Bob
041387 - is a senior, seemed at least 60. He expressed cynicism and
041388 - frustration that doctors cannot write coherent, useful progress
041389 - notes. Clearly, a "fellow traveler in more ways than sharing a
041390 - flight. At home, writing up our discussion, discovered his
041391 - business card says "neurologist" performing surgery to correct
041392 - brain defects. This helped "make sense" of his comments that
041393 - expanding complexity requires help remembering accurately even
041394 - for people without brain injuries. [...reported on 100911 0800.
041395 - ref SDS 40 OL4H...]
041397 - ..
041398 - 10. So, visiting, throwing the football, working out, sight seeing,
041399 - meeting new friends, Claudia's great cooking (Ross - we'll keep
041400 - working on the spare ribs - for sure keep the recipe for corned
041401 - beef), then getting Stu's paper, and making a new contact adds
041402 - up to a terrifically lovely, dare I say "beautiful," experience
041403 - being your guest. Somehow I feel this notion of "love" and
041404 - "beauty" can be incorporated into comments on Stu's excellent
041405 - paper.
