Our Town article on ALSLife Inc.

I would just like to give everyone an update that this past week a reporter from Our Town newspaper came to interview me at my home. His name was Chad Mearns. He was very inquisitive about our association and asked alot of great questions about ALS.

We discussed the main points that we wanted to include in the article to raise awareness for ALS and some of our goals as a non-profit/non-stock organization.

The story is going to be in Our Town newspaper the week of June 30, 2010.  Pick up a copy and read about what we are doing to help people diagnosed with ALS. I will link a copy of the article once it is released! I hope you all are having a great week!

Veterans ALS Study

As an update for veterans I would like to include some important information. From 2003 to 2007, I participated in this study conducted by Brown University.  The study consisted of 2,117 veterans with ALS – Lou Gehrig’s Disease. By the time the study was over, only 800 of the
veterans were still alive.  The study proved that military service men and women are twice as likely to get ALS as the general public.
For more information you can read this article. “VA sees connection between ALS and Military Service“

Celebrating Christmas 09

What is new in my life since i put BIO on the first writing about my life. My wife and I had the priviagle of hosting 25 people (brothers and sisters and my family) to our traditional Chrismas Eve dinner. My sisteer started having every one at her house and it has continued wth our taking turns. Since my mother passed away ( she always did the dinner with all family members) it seems that we do not get to see each other as much as we used to and this way we keep in touch with everyone. It is a meatless dinner. Different kinds of fish and other ethnic foods were prepared.

My older sister does bring my mothers’ favorite dishes. It was so much fun. My granddaughter plays the violin and my grandson plays the guitar with my son in law playing the keyboard. We sang Christmas songs(a little out of tune for this gang) but we had fun.
