After leaving the hospital I asked Linda if she<br />

could handle some additional housework I was no<br />

longer able to do. To my surprise and delight she<br />

agreed! As my strength continued to fade, without my<br />

me instead of Linda because while making these arrangements<br />

I learned Larry had been one of Scott’s teachers<br />
