later, however, doctors found two more malignancies (although much smaller than the first) and I uriderwent another surgery. I am currently being closely followed at the Melanoma Center at Mass General and doctors are almost certain that I am now cancer-free, and the prognosis is very good. So eight hours of surgery and over 200 stitches later, I am feeli ng very lucky. The purpose of this story, however, is to stress the extreme importance of routine physicals. The original diagnosis was made at my annual check-up, and I am told, that left undiagnosed for even a few more months, things could have been much, much worse. All of us with children, I am sure, never let our kids miss a check-up, and we need to do the same for ourselves. Take care of yourselves and see your doctor regularly. .. you owe it to yourself and to your families. I know I sound like a public service announcement, but it comes from the heart. OK, enough of my preaching. Well, despite my threat to be short and sweet, it would seem as ifi carried on again. Bill Detwiler referred to the last edition of Class Notes as my "War and Peace Diatribe.'; What can I do, you all just keep sending letters packed with interesting things to report.
