Update on Ray Reese ' 67

Ray is doing really well, but will be a long time coming back. He's still
required to stay close to the Brown Cancer Center and sees his doctors every week. He's isolated in the sense his immune system is not strong enough to be out in
the public yet. But he's HAPPY TO BE HOME AGAIN!!! 
At this point they expect only good things and that he'll grow
stronger everyday. He'd love to hear from everyone! Ray thanks everyone for all their cards and prayers through this fight against leukemia.
RAY IS CANCER FREE TODAY!!!
