Thurman continues to make slight
progress in his fight against leukemia,
but last week he entered Walter Reed
Army Medical Center for some minor
surgery.

It was also interesting to see that in
addition to Thurman's doctors, Dr. Paul
Landers and Dr. Phil Burk at Walter
Reed, Thurman also invited the
veterinarian who looks after his two
dogs, "Rex" and "Dundee," and his cat
"Marmalade."

COLLEEN SETLIFF describes her
4-year-old grandson as a typical little
boy who plays with his airplanes and his
helicopters, and was aware of the war in
the gulf, and she wanted to share this.

One night just after the war had
begun, Kim Setliff Jr. was about to offer
grace before dinner when his mother,
Joy Setliff, reminded him to bless the
men and women in service. He said:

"God, please don't let us have a war,
but if we have one we will need lots of
men and we need you too, God.

"But please send Jesus down so he can
say, 'Peace!', and let the Army and the
Navy go home in their helicopters.
Amen."

Amen, Kim Jr.
