Roger Watson Grand Correspondant passe has developed a tumor on his vocal chords. I talked to him on Monday October 3rd and he has gone through one chemo and 4 radiation treatments at this time. The treatments are to last until the middle of November. Roger is very up beat and the Doctors claim that they can cure all of the cancer. I’m sure that he would appreciate cards from you. Please keep Roger in your prayers.
