Hi Joan, Just reading this and an update on Andy Davidson. The initial prognosis wasn't good but after getting a second opinion at Sloan Kettering he has started chemotherapy and is doing ok. Just day by day at this stage. I saw him earlier this month and am keeping in regular contact with his wife.
Well, after 5 months working on the PONL wind down in Brasil I am now back in Madison for a week (last day is 10/31) and then I prepare for my departure from the USA, which will be in early December. I'm going to do some travelling in Central America and Europe before heading back to New Zealand in the March/April 2007.
Love to all and thanks for pulling all this together.
Sally Attfield

Hi Mom !!!
Hey, I MISS YA!!!
Sorrry to be out of the loop for so long but:
1) I slept a lot for the first week ( like lots others)
2) I had allotted myself 2 weeks to fix the house (HAH! should be 2 years. !). I'm still at it. It's starting to look like something anyway.
3) Chad's been over here several times and so has Leo. Both have helped Huge with the Laptop.
4) I've got resume's posted on Careerbuilders, Monster and Hot Jobs. and I catually got 2 hits back already (!!). I have an interview on Thursday - bought a suit, shoes, and a brand new long black coat. which fits over the jacket. That's all I'm gonna say for now. I don't want to jinx this. More to follow.
5) Chiller is this weekend at the Crown in Secaucus if anybody is Interested, Chad already said He's coming on Friday. Check www.chillertheatre.com for times and details. I'll be there all weekend. Stop by the Toxic Teddies table - Ask for Fitz.
6) I've attached a copy of the picture that I sent with my goodbye message that i sent to whoever was left. I tried to forward it to myself and bombed it. Basically it said a nice goodbye followed by the announcement that: THE LIZARDMAN HAS LEFT THE MEADOWLANDS !!!
accompanied by the photo. Hope you enjoy. I'll be back with fuller version of the last days of P&O after Chiller. I've been diong a lot of running around the last couple of days.
I gotta go now. I miss everybody, especially you. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF GALACTICA?? I kinda figured they were going to sink the PEGASUS once I saw 4 Cylon Base Stars. How about Lee Adama with that fat guy makeup? Tell everyone I miss 'em. See ya soon, Danny Fitzpatrick

Hi Joan! So nice to hear about what everyone is doing. I'm glad to hear that you are making the move to the Poconos and hope you and your family (that includes the kitties) will be very happy there. I will say a prayer for Troy and thanks for the news on him. Unfortunately Jennifer was correct in that Andy Davidson is very ill with lung cancer. He has been to Sloan Kettering in NYC. The prognosis from them was not quite so bleak (not great but...) and he has started chemotherapy. This is from Sally Attfield who is working with us in Madison for about a week before she starts her world-wide adventure. She will see Andy this week and I'll hopefully know more after that time. Before I forget, the "young lady - spanish looking" is how I think Mark Lanzalotto described her is my friend Corina Rodriguez. She moved to Portsmouth and is doing well there with a few other P&O folks including Cindy Smith. I've attached a picture of my husband Dennis and myself. This was at the house that we helped build and ship to TX with Habitat for Humanity. The file is quite large and if you can't view it or pass it on just delete it - not really important. Just to let you know we're healthy and happy. The house was a joint week long effort that ended the day of the Maersk picnic in Madison. I can honestly say that it was a tremendously successful effort and everyone that took part in it enjoyed it. I have a ton of pictures from it including some former P&O folks like Butch Gibbs, Eleni Demiris, Terry Davidson, Joe Martinelli, Joe Alexander, Adam Knight, Genesius, Bart Willems, Jean Hager, Kevin Moore and a ton of others. Gotta run for now. Take care everyone and will let you know more about Andy when I know. Thanks Joan!!! Sue Pichnarcik
