Shortly after the mid-terms, Sen. Craig Thomas
http://thomas.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=641&Type=Press%20Release">released a statement wherein he announced that he had been diagnosed with leukemia and a fellow DUer suggested we send him note of support.
Because I spent 2004/2005 living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I was familiar with Sen Thomas so I decided I would like to send him get well wishes, which I did. I wanted to share with you his personal response to me:
November 21, 2006
Mr. Ron (redacted)
(redacted) Avenue
(redacted), Texas (redacted)
Good morning Ron . . .
Thank you so much for your kindness.
I certainly did not expect this diagnosis,
but I am ready to take on this challenge by
joining the thousands of other cancer
survivors in Wyoming. I am looking forward
to continuing my work in the Senate as soon
as the 110th Congress begins in January.
Susan and I thank you wholeheartedly for all
of your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much for thinking of me and my
family. I really appreciate your
thoughtfulness and words of encouragement!
Best Regards,
Craig Thomas
United States Senator
My continued best wishes for Sen Thomas and his family...
A special thanks from Sen Thomas can be seen and heard
