Here is an update from Emmet.
As always if ANYONE has something they would like to share please send it.

The moon picture was taken on the road down to Dry Valley ( just after it passed under the Look Rock..Foothills Parkway) some may remember going up on the parkway just after it was completed and relaxing on car-hoods while star gazing and passing a quart of Schlitz around?







This note is to all who have been so kind in their thoughts and prayers. The one thing that I can say is that all the prayers obviously worked. We started with my brother Art going thru all his exams at MD Andersonon Tuesday Jan 9th and harvesting his stem cells on the following Tuesday & Wednesday. I had complete body radiation on Wednesday about noon and was violently ill the rest of the day. I received his stem cells on Wednesday night.
I have been going to MD Anderson everyday for a 3 hour drip of fluids and magnesium. I feel great, just a little tired at times. I usually go to the showroom for a couple of hours a day. I am not allowed to be in crouds because my cell counts are so low so I have no immune system right now. I do get Sunday off from the hospital but will be sent home with a fanny pack of fluids. You will never know what your e-mails have meant to us. Jennie keeps asking who that person is on my e-mail list and she can't beleive it when I say that is a Maryville classmate. It is hard to think that I am sick, the way that I feel. They call this the 100 day period of follow-up. There are a lot of risk involved with this procedure but it was the only way known to try to hit a home run and keep it in remission. This is a study so maybe this will help find a cure for this deadly disease.
Thanks again to all with their prayers and concerns. Emmet
