Welcome to the March issue of StrokeNet. The Snow Bells poked
their heads above ground in our backyard last week. A sure sign the spring
is on its way in the northern hemisphere. After a break last month from
StrokeNet's usual format it is back. Thanks to the positive comments we
received about the February issue featuring Members Musings.
This month Steve reminds all Members to update their Profile.
David Ray updates the workings of his Stroke Club. Next find Kathy
Bosworth's interview with Sherry Russel, a grief counselor. Kate Adamson
reflects on how disability can cause paralysis, keeping one from
accomplishing goals. Then find Jean Gugenheimer's review of five stroke
related articles, March birthdays are listed. Finally the bios of Charles
Ramsey and Jerry Taylor are featured. Have a good read.
