Last week, the annual joint meeting of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry and American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science was held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Interestingly, there were many local connections to the convention. In attendance was Rayanna (Riley) Phillips, daughter of the late Raymond and Margaret (Tootsie) Riley of Frances. Rayanna is a clinical lab manager at Methodist Hospital in Henderson. Also attending was Thomas Strilko, son of George and Carolyn (Myers) Strilko, formerly of this area. Tom is a representative with Roche Diagnostics, a world leader in in-vitro diagnostics. Finally, Matthew T. Patton, formerly of this area, attended. He is an editor of a medical trade magazine that provided journalistic coverage of the meeting.

We just realized we printed Robert Turley's last name as "Turkey" in the July 24 issue. We apologize for the error.
We're keeping Jeannie Griffin in our thoughts while she faces some health issues.

The Dycusburg Community Group is in need of donations while planning the Dycusburg Day event (Oct. 11). Funding will help with the band and games for our local children. Without financial help from the community, costly events like Dycusburg Day and the July 4 "Red, White and Boom!" will not be possible in the future. In simple terms: We need money. If you have friends and family who benefit from the events at Dycusburg, please consider sending a donation to: DCG, P.O. Box 112, Dycusburg, KY 42037.
