Blog about family history or genealogy and human interest stories. All of the Josephs were prospectors and I have decided to make that a theme in this blog.

The Son of the Sundance Kid.
Robert Harvey Longabaugh claimed to be the son of the Sundance Kid and Etta Place. He lectured at libraries, dropped in on newspaper offices and talked to anyone who would listen in the Western United States during 1970 and 1971.
There are a few transcripts of his lectures available but only one known lecture that is preserved as an audio file. Robert gave a lecture in Ellensburg, Washington on July 17, 1971 that was recorded and is now available as a .wma audio file.

I'm done with Chemo Treatments.
For now at least I am done with chemo treatments. On October 27, 1016 I did my last scheduled treatment. My first treatment was on May 19, 2016. That makes almost 2 1/2 years of treatments.
When I first started my treatments I was losing weight. I was down to under 150 pounds with my clothes on. I white blood cell count was low. I was bleeding internally and I was pale.
Now I am over 170 pounds with my clothes on. My blood count is good. I am not bleeding and I have my color. I am vibrant. I exercise daily and much of my weight is muscle as opposed to fat.
Do I dare say that this is a miracle? Just before I went into the hospital I had a Priesthood blessing. I used my faith in the blessing and science to get healthy. I am so thankful to all those cancer patients who went on before me to help improve the science. My heart goes out to all who get cancer. More especially young adults and children. They don't deserve this.
So while I do give credit I fault the Government and the FDA for allowing so many chemicals and additives into our food that causes cancer. diabetes, heart disease, obesity and even dementia or Alzheimer's Disease.
I am so grateful for my health and value my body and my health as among my most prized possessions. Probably family is the only thing that is worth more than our health. Being close to God is also up there. I put God and family as practically the same thing.
