"we don't view this as work"

I talked with Rick Kaskel about the state of our dialysis/kidney program. If you haven't seen the inside of the new dialysis unit, take a good look. An amazingly spacious room, so so much better equippped than the old one (the addition to Smith Lodge).

Tomorrow the Ruth Carole Gottscho Kidney Foundation board of trustees makes their annual visit, except this time without their and our beloved chairwoman, Eva Gottscho, who, as readers of this blog know, died in June at the age of 96. We will hold a memorial service for Eva at the Ketcham Chapel at 11 am. Several folks long associated with the program will be on hand. I myself will say a few words - speaking about three campers from the early years of the program and Eva's impact on them and us.
