Friends is Friends

     Well, folks, it's the time of year when Christmas and Hannukah are celebrated world-wide, and this year is more special than most.  Santa Claus needs your help - more specifically, your prayers.  And not just the Christian Santa, but the Jewish Santa, too!
     Jeremiah Halbert, formerly of Scottsdale, Az., but more recently from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is courageously battling an aggressive form of liver cancer for which there is no cure, and no treatment, other than making him comfortable.  There are hundreds of children, who knew Jerry as 'Santa,' through gatherings at my house, whom to this day believe that he is the 'real' Santa - and he is, always making the Christmas seasons so very special.
     And then there's Howie Mallin - the 'Jewish Santa' - whose later-life has been dedicated to helping others, especially through his work in the public schools, with special needs students - including his annual stints as Santa!  Howie will have open-heart bypass surgery, this morning, at Thunderbird Hospital, in Glendale, Az.
     Both men have their friends and families with them, but please keep them foremost in your thoughts and prayers.  I DO believe in Santa Claus - two of them!
