Dear Paul and Sue (aka J&M), Hope today is a good day & tomorrow even
better. We love you all and send you our wishes for a peaceful
recovery. I remember that last time you were in Sloane (many years
ago) and going to visit you. I think you set the record for laughs-per-
minute in cancer centers worldwide. Worked last time so it'll work
again! I'm not one who remembers jokes (or even gets them, half the
time), but I can tell you that I worked VERY hard last Friday
afternoon (after a rainy, no-recess day) at my teaching job getting 27
first graders to sit attentively on the rug. Someone burped. They all
thought that was just hilarious. It took me a good 7 minutes to them
back to "criss cross apple sauce," varying threats with wheedling &
explaining that everyone burps, it's normal, just say Excuse Me, etc,
etc. Finally, they were all with me again. I picked up the book to
read aloud & then someone farted. Game over. Love you all, & we are
praying for you! Delia, Tom & Girls

P.S. The only time I worked with first graders (community service when I was in high school) this beautiful, quite little girl flashed me the bird. I almost died! It was at that point I knew I couldn't be a teacher!!
