Barry update


I got an update on Barry Webb today: He was at Cherry Valley being presented with Valentine's from several classes there. He's a a wheelchair pretty much all the time now, but he's in good spirits (who would have guessed any different?).
He's made it to church the last several weeks as well, as he battles the symptoms of lymphoma.
Along with the cards, Barry was presented an honorary diploma, which he is displaying in the picture, from PHS principal Bill Appleton.
Barry's sister Charlotte told me people from all over had responded to the various stories written about him. A man down in California who works in a studio near the Wheel of Fortune office heard of Barry's love for the game show and had a package sent with all kinds of goodies. Even a signed picture of Vanna White.
What a great gift.
