Thank You list

I have to begin this list with my wife, Vickie. That beautiful, Swedish girl that I met at the bank 34 years ago when she filled in for Stuart. Stuart was a great guy (and you could tell the day of the week by which suit he was wearing) but Vickie really caught my eye.  My dad and business partner looked over at me and said, "well, why don't you ask this pretty girl out to dinner?" IN FRONT OF us both! Dad was never bashful and he got the pretty girl and so did I!

Next up - the pastors and prayer warriors. John, Joy, Joy (not a typo), Suzanne, Bob, Cindy, Nancy (Carol), Tom, Jay, Mark, Ray, Mary Lou and you.

The gang who have listened to me vent - Jack, Kathy, Alex, Fay, Cindy, Mark, Brian and you.

The support team - Nancy, Tom, Jay, Mark and you.

The doctors - Patrick, Jon, John, Joshua, Siva, Jennifer, Munria and counting. I will be adding a transplant surgeon, too.

The nurses, coordinators, managers, researchers, technologists, assistants and special people who make thing work. Cindy, Brenda, Kristen, Melanie, Dianne, Erica, Blair, Sandra, Penny, Alicia, Mary Beth, Delores, Beverly, Susan, Khrista, Christie, Christine, Barbara, Gloria, Chris, Brenda, Kristen 2, Heather and a whole bunch more!

I'm going to hear from some for my lack of including them but I plan to add to this list - these are just the starting names.
