LATEST REPORTS from Mariam Cheshire

SPREAD  THE  WORD

Mrs. A, retired Counselor, reported: 

I was afraid “Worries Won’t Happen – Fred’s Story” would be emotional reading but instead it’s a story we all know.  Childhood and school and first love! The book is great. I believe all should tell friends.

REPORT ON FRED’S SCHOLARSHIP

Glendale Community College advises that $17,586.67 has now been donated to the Dr. Fred Cheshire Memorial Scholarship Fund.  Isn’t that fantastic!  One family, with adult children, gave their Christmas presents to Fred’s Scholarship Fund instead of each other.  Twenty-two cents were the last two figures on a couple of gifts, thus honoring Fred’s birthday.  You all are giving me goosebumps!

Scholarships for $250 each will be awarded shortly.  In my next letter I should have more details about how we are giving students a helping hand. 

Can’t you see Fred shouting Hooray!

REPORT ON “THERE’S NOTHING I CAN’T DO”

The first part of the book is the tough part.  I’m going back through notes written at the time, 1977-early 1978, back when I would scribble something late at night or save a scrap of paper about a person or meeting.  It will get easier when the part is reached about Fred beginning his new life. 

Any friend who knew Fred in a wheelchair, would you write me at mimar102@cox.net or call me at 602-340-8048?  If you’ll give me some help, then I’ll shout Hooray!
