Sue  Gawler was honored on Friday, Septembe
Hello JBS members,


Sue  Gawler was honored on Friday, September 1 in Belgrade with the Eddie Mayer Conservation Award, which is given to an individual who consistently demonstrates a high degree of involvement and dedication to the environment.   

If you are friends with Sue, I thought you would be interested in this news, as well as the request below from her husband, RoyBouchard.



Congratulations Sue-- a well deserved honor on a perfect Maine day in your home town. We are thinking about you and your family often and with love.


Theresa Kerchner

special request
Hi.. This is
a note that is both impersonal and personal. I’d rather ask in person, but I
guess the topic is important enough that Email is the only way to get it
done. 
 
This is a different situation for me, my family, and for thousands of people
world wide.
 
Just a year ago my wife Susan was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lew
Gehrig’s Disease. Those of you who I have spoken with recently know our family
situation. Those of you who do not know Sue well or are curious what this is
about might want to visit a page you can get to via  Google :     “walk for als team sueboo maine ” 
 
Or directly at:
 
http://web.alsa.org/site/TR/Walks/NorthernNewEnglandWalk?team_id=191003&amp;pg=team&amp;fr_id=7425
 
The gist is we are trying to raise over $15,000 to suppport ALS research by
getting sponsors for team members doing a Sept. 10 walk in Portland . In typical fashion Sue has pitched
in even though she knows this will only help others down the road. If you want
to donate it would be great. This can be done securely at the site .. maybe go
through my page so the rest of the team does not think I totally dropped the
ball! 
 
Sueboo, as she is known to her extended family has been great throughout
this 
and all our extended family will be grateful for whatever you do.
