I hope every notices the new face in the cover picture, this is Roy Brian's donor. He and his brothers Bill and Charlie came into town this past weekend and we met for the first time. Roy and Charlie are from San Antonio , Texas and Bill is from Boca Raton, Florida. We spent a great day getting to know each other. We spent quite a bit of time learning about the transplant experience from each others view. Roy is a very outdoors oriented person and fits right in with our family. Please look at all of the pictures to see what our newly expanded family looks like.

We have finally recieved the final test results from Brian's Minnesota visit. As we hoped everything came back fine and we are trying to follow Dr. Wagners advice to forget the transplant ever happened. Everyone knows that this is impossible, but we will do our best.

As many of you have guessed Brian has flown to coop and headed off to the University of Florida. He seems to have adjusted very well and is busy going to the Gym, playing tennis, and flag football. I hope there is a little time for school and studying? His suite mate has finally arrived at school, Emanuel Moody. He transfered from USC to play football next year, check out sports illustrated.

We once again want to thank everyone involved in Brian's transplant the doctors and nurses, supporters and now finally Roy.

Thanks for checking on us

Bill, Carol, Brian, and the Boys
