Dorothy's special award!!!!
I'm pleased to report that Danica, Lohring and I accompanied Dorothy to a special event in Erie where she received the Outstanding Philanthropist award at the National Philanthropy Day luncheon. Over 200 people applauded her generosity. Her life-long involvement with theater and the arts led her to make the first significient contribution that launched a multi million dollar campaign to build a new theater at Allegeny College. The new lobby will be named after Dorothy and Franklin. She was also the first to donate to her Unitarian Universalist church's capital campaign. She also made it possible for future cardiac cath lab patients to receive treatments in Meadvile rather than having to travel to Cleveland. In addition to all these capital gifts she supported numerous charities including the Academy Theater, the Crawford Heritage Foundation, the Wesbury Foundation and the Port of Meadville Airport. We were so proud to hear about all her contributions and had tears in our eyes when she received the award.
Dorothy has come a long way with her recovery. Thanks to Danica, who has been her skilled case manager, she is getting stronger with the help of several caregivers and a personal trainer. Her progress has been steady and she's looking forward to our 2008 family reunion in Oregon, at the end of May. Danica is planning this event. We'll be back for Thanksgiving IF we make all our airline connections. Wish us luck with traveling during this time of the year where it's snowing here!

Traveling again!!!
Just a quick note to tell you that Lohring will be meeting the Miller/Mellor clan at Disneyland on Thursday and will be returning on the 12th. We leave for Meadville on the 14 and will be back late in the evening of the 21st.
Lohring will also be traveling to Australia/New Zealand from December 20-January 16th. He's heading to Australia for a boat race (crazy huh but fun) and then to New Zealand to see a dental clinic. I'll be in Honolulu from January 3-13th visiting Josh/Jody and little Rob. We'll look forward to seeing you all for Thanksgiving. I'll bring cone sushi and sparkling apple juice, etc.
