Niilo is definitely getting stronger:  More transfers from wheelchair to car for medical appointment (“Looks good!”), walking with the walker from the car through the entry to the dining table,  out around the driveway in the wheelchair, and standing without assistance several times.  He looks forward to going to Chena Ridge Friends Meeting Sunday morning.

  His brain is improving too, though still very confused.  However, he remembered his Wilberforce College (now Ohio Central State) classmate Otha who called and talked with him for some 25 minutes.  It turns out they had both been very involved with education and both served in their state legislatures.  The last time they were in contact had been at the Democratic National Convention at which Jimmy Carter was nominated as candidate for President.
