The Blessings of Good News- Even When You Are in China!
2008-02-20
We actually heard it first from Dr. Jim Trapp of Oklahoma State University as we were traveling to the Great Wall on Tuesday morning Chinese time- the word that Gary Sherrer was gotten a medical report that is nothing short of fabulous- Gary has been battling cancer for several months now and has just heard from the Doctor that the mass they have been working on is gone- he will be taking a couple of additional treatments as insurance- but the report cheered our spirits over here in Asia.

As we check our email later in the day- we got word from Dr. David Porter that a lot of folks at OSU and in Oklahoma agriculture want to celebrate with Gary, who serves now in the Dean's office in the Division of Agriculture at OSU (he's also a former Secretary of Agriculture for Oklahoma). To celebrate, some folks have set up a special fund that folks can donate to in honor of Gary.

Dr. Porter writes "We have formed a team "Cowboys vs. Cancer" comprised of friends and family of Gary Sherrer. Also, five professors from the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences will be competing in the upcoming Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon as a relay team to honor Gary. We would like to ask for your support and join the team in the fight against cancer by donating to the American Cancer Society on behalf of Gary. We have set up a website for this purpose."
