Dear Family and Friends,
Last night John Judson and his entourage arrived: 6 people from his hometown near Harristown, PA. Dr. Judson was chief of surgery and Medical Director for four years in the late 90’s. He’s about 70 now. He had practiced as a cardiac surgeon previously. He came with (2) his wife, (3) retired orthopedic surgeon, Bill Murray, (4) his wife, a community organizer, (5) a very successful businessman from PA (pension management), Bob Hall and (6) another fellow, David, who works for the State of PA trying to get companies to relocate there. Bob owns several Porches and has met Jerry at some Porche Owners’ get togethers.
Judson is slim, fast walking and talking, very decisive. He deals well with crises. His crew are all associated with Rotary. They call it a “mission.” They’ve already built a dental clinic in the Dominican Republic with donations from Rotary. The non-physicians in the group work in the medical records department, thinning records. This must be the most boring job in the world. They want to help, and they do.
Working here, a person could get the impression that there are lots of people in this world who are trying to figure out ways of helping very poor people.
Dr. Katy Close went to Moulin-sur-mer today. People here refer to this as “the beach,” but it’s a very pleasant resort. $60 a night includes very good food including lobster, conch, and a great buffet. Also 2 drinks. Katy gave me her fiancé’s phone numbers. I’m to call him if she doesn’t come back.
Katy doing a do.

Do you like any of these paintings? Linda hasn’t always agreed with my taste.
