Viv and I will be in Pa for about two weeks, we leave Springfield Mo the 19th of June so we can see Vivs MOM and go up and see Paul through the surgery they plan on the 23rd or 24th Jr has to be there the 21st for check in and prepping, they are trying to go over to Pa also before the surgery, we'll see if they let him drive over there..Sorry for not keep you up-dated as much as I should, been real Hecate here..
