***Maggi,

Thanks for writting. The picnic was great. Lots of hugging and

talking. Dr. Rutledge was there and talked with as many people as

possible and we were there to actually see him EAT something. There

were clothes laid out for pre-ops or even post-ops to get and

children played all kinds of games. Pam Greer was there and did a

speach on the benefits of being fat. LOL they were hilarious. But

most of the day was doing what we all do best and that is love each

other, talk and be with friends. I was so overwhelmed by the

response I got when people realized who I was. I was hugged a

million and one times and many gave me encouraging words. It was

wonderful. We all are such a loving group that when we met it is as

if we have known each other for years. To those that did not make

it, I hope you will be there for the next one. By then I will be a

post-op!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Love,

Lara Akin

Still Fighting the GOOD fight!!!!!!!!!!
