How the years have flown bye! The little boy I know and love has grown up. You have matured from that competitive little guy who I watched and coached in little league soccer, basketball, and baseball into a six-foot tall, young man, who's now able to drive.

I'm proud of you, TJ.

Happy Birthday! —Dad

P.S. I hope you haven't grown up too much that you still won't join your old man at a ball game!

Each February, Alice 105.9 FM radio in Denver sponsors the 36 Hours for Kids Telethon supporting The Children's Hospital. The telethon always represents a special three days for Marti and me. We listen to story after story of kids and their fights of survival, and of course relive our time at The Children's Hospital with Chance when he was two.

I have been in contact with United States senators and representatives, sharing my opinions on current food safety legislation; I encourage everyone to do so. Here is a recent email sent to me by Senator Michael Bennet.

We celebrated Chance's birthday on Saturday, January 9th with a weekend of skiing at Arapahoe Basin and a spot on KDVR Fox 31. My miracle boy is now six years old! Enjoy the story, the video, and the best rendition of "Happy Birthday" you have ever heard.

Food safety legislation reform has taken a back seat recently to the emotional debate on healthcare reform. I would argue that food safety is closely related and just as important.

A week ago I participated on a conference call, at S.T.O.P.’s invitation, with over one-hundred people and Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL). Mr. Durbin is the majority whip in the Senate and sponsor of bill S-510, the Food Safety Modernization Act. The bill is still in committee and may come up for vote by the end of the year.
