Greetings,
In my neck of
the woods we are seriously into winter. But, the days are getting
longer. I am looking forward the spring this year. Can't wait to begin
gardening.
This month our
lead article is by Dennis Jeffries. Denny explains becoming a chef
after his stroke. Those who are looking for a new profession will find
Denny's reflects helpful.
Regular
columnists return this month after a month of freedom (!) in February
when we published our Creative Writing Issue.
Debby Batjer writes about her history with The Stroke
Network. Lin Mouat reflects on Allocating
Energy. Jean Guggenheimer reviews stroke news
in the media. Marty Arlen dons his persona of 007 to answers a question
about doctors.
Nancy Fiduk shares the birthdays and anniversaries for
this month. Finally, Nick Horton's bio is featured.
Enjoy the March newsletter.
