WNR SPECIAL BULLETIN 14 AUG 2010:
Subject: WNR SPECIAL BULLETIN!!!---
---Okay, everybody! Once again, we must band together and get down to those card stores and flood the postal mail with get-well cards, the sooner the better. Sadly, this effort is once again for the Beckett family. I'm so sorry to report that my classmate, Judy Beckett Cash, is gravely ill. Her cancer has returned, she's jaundiced, and there are spots on her liver. I got a call from her sister, 1958's Linda L. Beckett (Lemons) on this very morning, in which she has requested all our good thoughts and prayers for Judy's recovery, and she made a special request that we all send her as many cards as possible, as quickly as possible. So let's get to it. Add a stop at the card store to your Saturday list of errands, and get them into the postings for today, please. Mine's on the way, already.
Here are the addresses;
Judy Beckett Cash, Fl. 4, Rm. 424
Yavapai Regional Medical Center
1003 Willow Creek Road
Prescott Arizona 86301-1641 (or her home address, which is)
5700 East Market Street Unit 1022
Prescott Valley Arizona 86314 (keep reading, please)
The Beckett family has had a very tough time, health-wise, in recent years. They've lost brother Richard Beckett, 1950, and brother Ronald L. "Pete" Beckett is currently waging his own battle against cancer, as you will recall from my last special bulletin. Now, we have sister Judy, 1960, doing the very same thing. So let's do what we do best, and pull together to support one of our own. (Keep reading.)
While I'm doing a special notice, I will notify all of you that I received word today from 1960's Phillip D. Howard and his 1967 spouse, Marian Kay Hussey, of the death of 1956's EARL RANDALL MURPHY. He resided in California, and as I recall, he had maintained a very cordial relationship with his first wife, 1958's Judy M. Smith, who lives in Arizona. I don't have an exact date nor cause, but I'm quite sure the report is accurate. I vividly remember Earl. He was a Miami Shores Kid, and dashingly handsome, quiet, and charming. I'm sure many of you recall him. I'll recap this in the next regular news bulletin. As always, I'm sorry to have to report bad news. Best to all of you, and please get Judy's cards in the mail. Thanks.
