Camp Jabberwocky

Hi everyone
I'm so excited about Camp Jabberwocky this year because I will get to see all my friends again. I will also do my favorite thing, swimming. I can't wait for camp.

Sad news...



This morning, our beloved Graham Gardener passed away. I do not know many of the details. I do know it was shockingly unexpected. By all accounts, Graham was having a marvelous winter, and - as i understand it - went swimming at the Y with Dr. Steve yesterday afternoon.

From what i can gather, it was there that Graham had a seizure. He was rushed to the hospital, and passed away there early this morning.

A memorial service is currently being planned. I do not know details as of yet, but will pass them along as soon as I have them.

If you would like to send expressions of sympathy, the addresses of Graham's parents are as follows:

Cynthia Gardner
17 Gallison Ave
Marblehead, MA 01945

Dr. Steve Gardner
20 Andrew Street
Salem, MA 01970

Again, i will let you know more details as i can.

Hug everyone a little tighter tonight.

jabber love,
faith
