Dear Helen:
You've been on my mind -- especially so these past several days. If you =
hadn't written, I would have within the next two days or so.

Well -- and I've quoted this Lupus friend of mine at least once to you =
-- "If it isn't one thing, it's another." The past several weeks have =
not been at all good for me. Somewhat undependable legs and feet, much =
fatigue. We are very sorry to learn of your problems -- and certainly =
those of Crissy. We certainly convey our very best thoughts and prayers =
to all of you.

We get a number of Lupus publications -- and I have yet to find any sign =
of any really new, effective medicines. A couple of the publications =
insist on displaying smiling faces of Lupus folks on the covers -- but I =
can see little to smile about.

Our family, like yours, is a major support force. And I have a great =
Kitty who sticks with me at virtually every moment. Coffee and my =
tobacco pipe are great aids.

Our youngest, Josie, is due to have her first child next May. That will =
be our ninth grandchild. Our grandson/son Thomas will be an M.D. come =
next May -- he's finishing his fourth year of Med School at Minnesota. =
He's always interested in the Lupus situation, keeps us posted on things =
in that medical area. But, as I say, we all are still waiting for a =
truly helpful medicine.

The more grandchildren, the better!

In the meantime, we can only Keep Fighting. You all are doing a fine job =
on that front -- all Lupus things considered -- and I think we are, too.

We are cut from good "material" but I know, Helen, that it's tough. Only =
someone with Lupus knows how it is.

We send all our love to you all -- and, as always, our best prayers and =
our best thoughts.

Your good friend, always --

Hunter [Hunter Bear]
