It is VERY IMPORTANT  for me to not only honor Jerry in this way, but also to keep his memory alive in my heart,  my childrens' hearts, my family's and my friends' hearts.....and to make sure that anyone who cares enough to ask, will know that Jerry planted the seed of this foundation, even before his death on June 2, 2001, at the age of 89.


I have a couple of pictures of Jerry I'd like to put here.  DJ, can I send them to you?

No, Jerry did not have moyamoya........he just planted the seed in me to start this foundation.....his wife did have a massive stroke in the early !990's,  and basically became incompetent.,  and she had refused to execute an Advanced Health Care Directive and Medical Decision Power of Attorney while she was still well....the laws were a little different then....Jerry had to be appointed Guardian of her estate......and, then, when they surgically inserted a stomach feeding tube and gave her intravenous fluids which kept her alive for another 18 months, Jerry went to the nursing home EVERY SINGLE DAY to visit her, even though she was basically non-responsive....he even made sure that she was bathed properly and had her hair done once a week.......like she used to do when she was competent.......So, no, Jerry did not have moyamoya, he was simply an inspirational human being who profoundly influenced my life and the lives of my family and friends with his warm-hearted kindness, caring and generous nature.....And every day, I still miss his presence in my life.. Cry

Just wanted to post an update on the Moyamoya Foundation......just faxed 20 pages, including the questionnaire to our attorney, T. Wrobel, in San Francisco tonight at about 10:45 EST.......wanted to get it in so that we can get our tax ID # quickly and so that Tom can work on this while I am recuperating.......at first, will be operating out of my law office at 77 Hudson Street, 2nd floor, Hackensack, New Jersey, 07601 (201) 996-1555; fax (201) 996-1503 (so we can cut costs by not paying any rent as my law office will just pay the rent that I have always been paying.......I am the initial agent for service of process and I have a blank place on my sign for The Moyamoya Foundation......if anyone would like me to fax the same 20 pages to them, please e-mail me directly or post a reply on this thread----is that the right word?----and I will be happy to fax it  to you.......please be sure to include your phone number and FAX NUMBER, ok?

Just another update----interviewed another potential full time employee of the Foundation today....we spent almost 3 hours over lunch....he is GOING TO BE FABULOUS........have another interview tomorrow evening for full timer and then one at 1:00pm tomorrow for part-timer......things are really coming together.....since I will not be posting any info about the additional contacts I've made since I first thought about forming this organization, anyone who wishes to can e-mail me privately, or better yet, phone my office at 201-996-1555, and I will be happy to return your call at my very earliest convenience......or perhaps, DJ can set up some kind of backroom topic about the Foundation, that I can post on.....Let me know, DJ.......it's late...Bedtime for Bonzo...Love to all, Pat M Smiley Kiss

Okay, DJ, I've seen you and (I think) LisaH do this.  What's it mean?

(Am I missing something obvious?)

I am curious.  What would these part- or full-time employees of the foundation be doing?  What kind of background do they bring to the organization, and what would their/his/her job description include?

Diane
P.S. Even though I work for a not-for-profit organization, I don't know anything about how one gets started and then how it pays employees.

Diane,

"Bump" posting just brings a topic back up towards the top of the board.  So basically, when you want a subject to be read again (for whatever reasons) you "bump" it back up.   For instance, I keep bumping the "Member Map" message so that new members will know to place their pin on the map.  Otherwise, that post would just kind of get lost.

Hope I explained that reasonably?  Smiley  I gotta stop posting when I'm so tired and make no sense!  Smiley

Lisa, thanks for the explanation.  I thought it might have to do with keeping the message active, but -- not being really familiar with this particular software -- I wasn't exactly sure.

I have no problem answering your questions about the full and part time employees, but do not want to post something so detailed and long without first having permission from the webmaster--------Obviously, I cannot do all of this work by myself......I already have several events plannes for fundraising in September and October and I need some help from the employees (and, of course, the many volunteers from this website and my personal friends).............also, I do not wish to create a problem because some of the people involved are semi-famous and you will recognize either their names or their good works,,,,,,,,I do believe that it is important that you all are informed,however, so when DJ gives me the "go ahead", I will post this information....I await response from the webmaster....PatM

Thanks Pat,

Obviously, the overall progress of The Foundation is of great interest to people and updates are more than welcome!

Perhaps the detailed info on how it is being created would serve it's purpose better via email, PM's, or a thread in the "back room"?

I would hate to see the really important information (the progress) intermingled, overshadowed or burried in the technical details of the process.

Does that make sense?

Dj----that makes sense--but, I unfortunately don't want to type the same thing over and over----and I am not computer savy enough to know how to copy or paste it....so, if you and/or my sister can explain to me how to do that and send private messages, I would be happy to do so.....Pat

Hey Pat -

You can send it to everyone that requests the info all at once.  Type up your PM, and in the "To username" field, type each username separated by a comma.  For example:

DianeMain, STrantas, PatM, DJ

Hi everyone---my 2nd EDAS surgery has now been moved up to JUne 3rd, I have pre-admission tests tomorrow, and more cognitive functioning tests on Wed., June 2nd........so I will try to do the private e-mailing thing after I am out of the hospital regarding the employees......and also the Board of Directors......for now, I am just too tired, and it's too complicated for me to follow...but, I promise that I will do it just as soon as the headaches from the 2nd surgery subside......Love and best wishes to you all.....for those of you who are praying people, I simply ask for your prayers for me and my family--that the 2nd surgery goes as well as the first........thanks...PatM
