Mark Wiltzius Update

Hi All,

Just a quick update on Mark. He is at home, but not doing too well at this time. The radiation treatments are taking it all out of him, and at this time is virtually bed ridden. Jim and John (brothers) are flying back out there today, and will be there for at least 2 weeks. He has stopped eating again, but they are bringing good Wisconsin cheese and sausage to him, so hopefully he'll at least eat some of that. In the meantime, Joanne has been giving him his meds with ensure, so at least he's getting some nourishment.

They have stopped the radiation. We're all praying that maybe he'll be able to regain some of his strength so at least he can have some enjoyment during this hard, hard time.

Thanks for all your prayers! I'll update you if anything changes!

Time to get a blog!

I have wanted to set up a blog page so everyone can East High information when they want. I'm not quite sure how this all will work yet, but hopefully it will be worthwhile. I'll put anything anyone likes on here. So if you have pictures or news to share, just send it to me at either eckers@itol.com or ceckers@sturbay.k12.wi.us and I'll see that it gets on here. I'll put on some things I've gotten recently. I'd like to expand the email list we already have, so if you find out a classmates address, please let me know. Thanks! Cathy

P.S. I saw that East High teacher Marcella Hoeffs passed away this week. I was surprised to see she was still alive. When we were younger she seemed so much older, but she was 82, not older like I had imagined. Thinking of her screaming at Bob Hanrahan brought back some funny memories of high school for Jane and me.
