[SEL] O.T. Lost my Dad yesterday

[Paul Pavlinovich]

Hi Peg & Bill (& list),
Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad - my family's thoughts are with your family at this terrible time. I too lost my 
dad to cancer - his was bowel cancer. Because of it, I undertake the indignity of an internal exam (guess where they go 
in?) every three years. There is no excuse for not doing it - sure the dignity suffers but when you think about the 
consequences...

Regards
Paul
