At my request, Marv Katz, who included the Beacon Journal in his 40-year career, provided this update on his daughter Lisa, who is battling cancer:
Lisa seems to be doing fairly well, all things considered. She had her sixth session of chemo (June 2) and the usual fatigue set in. After (husband Major) Thomas (Pagel) graduates June 11 from his course at the Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, they'll head for Houston for a reevaluation of her cancer at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. That could lead to another six bi-weekly chemo sessions in the vicinity of Fort Lewis, Wash., the site of Thomas' next Army assignment, or to six weeks of radiation treatment at M.D. Anderson.
Lisa's been doing a very good job of keeping interested folks up to date at her cancer Web page

as well as on Facebook.
