 Hello Dear Family and Friends,

 I hope all is well with you and will continue.

 All is not well with us, and I hope it will not continue; however, we know better.  Ruth’s alzheimer’s is much worse; she still has a sense of humor and holds a fair conversation, but remembers nothing.  She still knows me and the children.  However, upon our departure, it is like we have never visited her.  She is in a rest home now to stay.  I miss her so!

 For me, I am feeling fine most of the time.  I’m being seen once a year to check on a bladder cancer and two skin cancers.  Compared to other couples I have heard about, this is minor.

 I am sorry not to be in touch all year like some others have with us - and we enjoy.   I would like to be more in touch, but don’t count on it.  Ruth was always the letter writer.  I am more likely to pick up the telephone, - so maybe!

 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 With Love and Best Wishes,

 Wally and Ruth
