Caring for the Frail Elderly (MU) Conference

This booth experience brought back so many wonderful memories when I was a Nursing Technician at Boone Hospital, decades ago. Bonus to reconnect with those recognized from decades ago (pictured: my children’s first pediatrician, Dr. David M.)!

State Fair 2014

What can compare to the Governor’s Ham Breakfast! So many good Missourians enjoying good company, good food, & a good show under one (tent) roof – early, in Sedalia!

St. Peters Rotary is making a difference

Surrounded by beauty in the Cultural Arts Center inside the City Hall, this group is destined to accomplish great things! Just as one hopes all Rotarians/Missourians are, this club was well-informed & had numerous, thoughtful questions, excited to learn all they could (in 1-hour) about Regenerative Medicine. Thanks to Julie S, Jeff F, & Jeff H!


Springfield Kiwanis Towers Above Town

They meet at the “Tower Club”, on the 22nd Floor! Always great when folks stay after the meeting to talk more personally before I leave. This group understands what it means to help others in need, as they help children in need (Kiwanis). All were thrilled to learn of the latest breakthroughs, & many signed up for our monthly newsletters. Thanks (& well wishes) to Gayla J!


Amazing learning environment at the Multiple Myeloma Support Group!

Kathy C has led this group for 10 years – & it shows! The information she shared was valuable to all who attended, especially her experiences at a recent conference. It was an honor to follow her lead & to speak with this group. All came already well-informed & extremely supportive of stem cell research, treatments, & Regenerative Medicine. Most attendees gave testimony to their own experiences with stem cell treatments. Remarkable, positive group! Thanks, Kathy C!


Like homecoming at Red Bridge Methodist Church

The folks at Red Bridge Methodist Church in Kansas City can really make you feel welcome! Though five years or so had passed since my last visit with this group, it seemed like only yesterday…Thankfully, all the familiar faces gave me a warm welcome. Questions included asking about progress regarding individual-specific diseases & how to tell the difference between a fraudulent clinic/treatment and a respectable clinic/treatment (yay for the FDA & who they recognize as valid). As with most of my presentations, this group was fascinated by the progress, on so many ‘fronts’ – especially learning about the “Skin Gun” [http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/explorer/videos/the-skin-gun]. Great to get excited about research! Thanks, June!


JDRF in Springfield hosts Type 1 Nation Research Summit

Held in the beautiful Bass Pro White River Conference Center, it was an honor to host a booth & give a presentation/talk at this amazing event! Marie Davis, Executive Director, JDRF St. Louis, gave an outstanding Keynote Address! The audience who attended my presentation came with lots of questions & left with answers &/or places to start their search for answers (missouricures.org).Thanks Jennifer!

Cape Girardeau West Rotary has advanced technological capabilities!

This Rotary Club videotapes their meetings! What a FUN, friendly, yet attentive group! Superb questions were asked & answered. The view outside overlooking a beautiful lake was almost as good a view as the view & fellowship on the inside:-)

History Continues in Saint Joseph

Isn’t it always a treat to enter an historic, well-preserved building, like the Benton Club in St. Joseph! The St. Joseph Rotarians were a classic & enthusiastic audience, with numerous questions about Regenerative Medicine’s past, present, & projected future. Felt like I was family as I gladly took pictures during the meeting, then forwarded pics to Donald:-)

Smart Folks Live at Bethel Ridge & Gentry Estates

What a pleasure to meet the smart folks living & working at Bethel Ridge & Gentry Estates in Columbia! All 3 audiences were truly interested, engaged, & eager to learn more about ‘Regenerative Medicine’, especially as it related to their individual concerns. Bonus seeing a personal acquaintance from years ago, who is now an active heart translplant survivor. Success stories always welcome! Thanks, Christina!

Too much fun!
