As many of you know Richard Sambrano has been ill. Here is an update:

Don Leo,

> It is always good to hear from. I read your emails very carefully and enthusiastically, especially your jokes.
> Thanks for the update on brother Raul Yzauirre. I know you will agree that he is one of our shining stars and has been an inspiration to many of us just like you were to me and other CRS staffers. Sometimes we wait until it is too late to let foks know how much we appreciate them. So thank you for all you and the rest of you on this email for your contributions towards my personal growth and that of other conciliation specialists. We may have not been understood all the time but I believe we all meant well. Just had different ways of doing things. Some of us were just more vocal.

> By the way I am writing this email from the Woodlands where I am on the final series or cancer treatment, first chemo and now radiation. After three life threatening hospitalizations, first heart problems, then a clogged major artery and now cancer within the lastt 7 months, you are right prayer does work. I feel better than ever. Thank to all of you!
