Hi Hap,

-> She might have gotten a catered lunch too but since they were looking
-> for authentic GIs........................  Have to see if she remembers
-> what, if anything they got other than bragging rights.

 HN> They were filming on Ford Island where our
 HN> Submarine Barracks were located, and put up
 HN> a notice for "extras"...So I applied and did
 HN> the "try out" and was picked..it was fun!

I can imagine so. Probably had to warn the locals that it was a movie
being made, not another attack. I've seen part of the movie; the attack
is quite impressive.

-> -> Spoil sports!

->  HN> That was my feeling at the time as well!

-> Why am I not surprised? (G)

 HN> I think the movie makers looked at it as a
 HN> way to get stunts done on the cheap and
 HN> with no liability, but the Stunt men looked
 HN> at it as we were taking their work away.
 HN> I can see both points, but in fact they were
 HN> paid to take the risks, we were just willing
 HN> to take them!

For a free box lunch and a few dollars. You were inexpensive compared to
the union wages of the stunt folks.

->  HN> The cancer center we go to has LOTS of things going
->  HN> on, makeup classes, pilates, yoga, counselling, free
->  HN> wigs and hats, all SORTS of resources!

-> I suspect we didn't look into it as deeply as we could have. I know a
-> couple of times when I had to see another oncologist, his office had
-> hats, wigs and such like. He worked more in the chemo department; the
-> oncologist I saw regularly was a radiation specialist.

 HN> All are combined at the Cancer Center
 HN> where we go for treatment. The wigs
 HN> books, pamphlets and LOTS of other
 HN> resources are available there!

It's all in one building--the JC & Nancy Lewis Cancer Treatment Center
IIRC. My pulminologist was also there for the last part of our time in
Savannah. JC Lewis owned the Ford dealership we took the Focus to for
servicing and where we bought the Escape. It still has his name on a
decal on the back.

->  HN> We're having ham this year! (grin)

-> OK, did she wake up in time to enjoy it?

 HN> Oh yes!

Sounds good to me too. Was it as good as the one we got up at Peachy's
in Bellville, PA this past August? (G)

->  HN> Every day is a new hope!

-> As well as a new beginning.

 HN> Yep! Tomorrow will be the first
 HN> Monday in about 7 months that she's
 HN> NOT going to get "infused"!!

Cook a steak & lobster dinner to celebrate!
