AOI’s Newsletters
I was able to get the Kids Think & Believe Too! newsletter finished and ready for the printer before the busyness of Christmas season took over. AOI publishes an adult newsletter and a children’s newsletter every 2 months.

I (with occasional help from my wife Marilyn) write the Kids Think...

As the doctor, still in residency, was stitching me up, I began to ask him about his education, where he was from, etc. … just getting to know him.
