Being Pals – The weekly group dinner at Joyce and Earl’s home.

We’ve always been known as the ProtonPals but this spring and summer the part about the Pals has become even more real as a series of group dinners coordinated by the current PCa class at the center has been held. These are extremely successful as was this one hosted by graduate Earl Meazell and Joyce Steensrud in their home in beautiful Memorial Park area. The food was catered by Joyce and Earl’s favorite restaurant, Tony Mandola’s and was wonderful, AND healthy. 

In Gratitude, the Pals.

 

 

Larry Hock’s Graduation

Larry Hock graduated on Friday, May 1, 2009 and Joe Landry took some photos of Larry, his friends and the key radiation therapists, Claudia, Denice, and Jennifer.  These same therapists who, as he jokingly said in a German accent when he rang the gong, “led him to a cave like room with 8 foot walls, strapped him to the table and tried to get him to divulge the secrets of the oil production in North Louisiana”.

Seven ProtonPals finished radiation treatment on May 6 and it was a busy time for the gong and the photographers.  I was able to get some pics for three of them,  Joe Filler,  Hugh (Mr. Ex) Exnicios and Craig Roshaven.

PROTONPALS FELLOWSHIP AND STAFF APPRECIATION EVENING.  After several days of serious planning by Larry Hock, Joe Filler and Hugh (Mr. Ex) Exnicios around 110 folks gathered at the Proton Center on Wednesday April 22nd for the first ProtonPals Fellowship and Staff Appreciation night. One of Larry Hock’s friends, The BigE Drilling Company drove up with a crew, a Texas sized BBQ grill with all the donated fixings and cooked up the main courses.  It was a marvelous night as Pals got to meet and make new friends as well as getting to know the staff a little better.  The balloon babes know you pretty well already. You can tell from the following slide show that this should be a regular event.  Let me know if you want to continue what could become a tradition.
