I have just finished an excellent orientation to VA Hospice today. One of the outstanding teachers is a social worker who just happened to sit beside Dr. John Wesley Fisher at the dining room when he was at the VA a couple of weeks ago. She ordered his book ANGELS IN VIETNAM, and like me could not put it down. And ordered his new one, A FLIP OF THE COIN, which is similar to my experience as a brother, whose brother was killed in Vietnam, at the same time I was in the Army. She is more than willing to help network for his visits back here to the VA and the our Unity. I am getting the book back from Dr. Ron Acierno, who is my supervisor for my other volunteer job as a peer support therapist assistant. As presenters today, we had a MD in charge of the Hospice program and his partner a Psychiatrist, who is in charge of helping them live a quality life while here, a RN, a Ethicist MD, and the Volunteer coordinator. They were all really good, and I am proud to be part of their Palliative Team. I really enjoyed your sermons yesterday, as was obvious as I stayed for both. DEDICATED TO HELPING HEAL THE WOUNDS OF WAR, ron
