Better Late Than Never!
At 9:30 yesterday morning, we were in the midst of an appointment with Nyel’s cardiologist in Portland. We were listening to the cardio-team’s plan for the next few months which, all things being equal, will lead to a mitral valve replacement before Christmas. The last thing on my mind was “Perspectives” – Joan Herman’s KMUN radio show which was airing at that very moment – the program for which Erin Glenn and I had been interviewed ten days previously.
I confess that the program has entirely escaped my mind until I did some “catch-up” in mid-afternoon. We had reached home and I was checking on phone, email, and FaceBook messages. In the latter category was one from my friend Linda in Seattle: ” I just listened to your interview on KMUN…well done! You’ve inspired me to get involved.” Wow!
It wasn’t until this morning, though, that I found time to go to the link and listen, myself, to what we had talked about on Joan’s show. If you missed it, I highly recommend it, even though it is one of those “if I do say so, myself” situations. The half hour show is well organized (Thanks, Joan!) and informative (Thanks, Erin!) and, despite my role as a participant, I thoroughly enjoyed being a listener!

I’ve been trying to find a way to also give readers links to my “Stories From The Heart” that are running weekly in the Chinook Observer but I could only locate a link that works for the current week’s story and sidebar:
http://www.chinookobserver.com/co/local-news/20170905/stories-from-the-heart-in-troubled-times-who-to-tell-who-to-trust
Either my techie skills are too limited, or you have to be a subscriber in order for the links to the previous six stories to work. Sorry about that! I’d love for them to find a wider readership! The overwhelming positive response from many folks here on the Peninsula has been gratifying. As for those who are not so positive – all I can do is urge readers and writers to research their “facts” before they embarrass themselves by responding publicly. A robust dialogue on big issues is great, but perpetuating rumors and misinformation… not so much.
Congrats in order again, Sydney! Thanks for spreading the word on this important issue.
