I talked with Jan and wanted to be with her, and at my children's encouragement and Bob's insistance [he was in Florida, taking a week's class at Pankey Institute], I flew to Seattle, where Joy picked me up at the airport. It was a very hard but uplifting time together - never saw Jan so strong, talking to family and being a help to them.
