Russ, since Jerry brought up that your son lives in the worst mosquitoe area on earth I will share a story with you. On Sunday a little four year old girl from New Haven, N. Y. died from eastern equine encephalitis. Little Maggie would have turned five on August 16th which also would have been my Mom's birthday instead of celebbrating her birthday Maggie's family has spent this week planning her funeral and burying her today. Yesterday I found myself wondering if Dwight and Mom were there to greet this little angel when she got to Heaven.

Maggie's family during this difficult week have been very pro active to get areas in central N. Y. with the worst mosquitoe population that have tested positive for EEE sprayed. Maggie's family doesn't know where she was bitten by the infected mosquitoe.

Russ, I feel Dwight would want this story shared with all of our IOW friends as a reminder to protect ourselves whenever we are in a mosquitoe infested areas.

Miss you, Dwight!

Patti
