"Let's pray and wish Brod Rudolf de la Rosa '63 speedy recovery!!"
| 
        Dear Brods, I'm sharing with you our visit with Brod Dolf in Salisbury, Maryland on Oct. 21. I have appended Dolf's message and the pictures provided by Eding Hizon, Pet Grajo, Wally Rodriguez and Manny Cayetano on their visits. I had asked Dolf first if this was okay with him, so here they are. 
 We truly had a wonderful and uplifting experience in seeing Dolf, just chatting the hours away and sharing our Betan brotherhood and fellowship. Wouldn’t it be great if we can all wish him well, especially for those who had known and been with him, as he continues to battle and make progress in his treatment. As Dolf is lacking in medical insurance, please extend whatever caring help you can give. Most important, let's show him our support and keep him in our prayers. 
        Here are Dolf's personal info:

          Hi Dolf, 
          Below are the pictures from UP 
          Beta Sigma SoCal and of our get-together in Salisbury. 
          Our visit - Rolly, Raoul and I 
          - did as much to our spirit as it did yours.  When we left, we were 
          very happy 
          for the opportunity to just be together and spend 
          the time with you like brods of old 
          recounting stories and memories of the past and 
          sharing new ones.  I'll be sure to extend your 
          regards and thanks to the SoCal gang.  
          Give my hello to Eding, Barbara and Kay on their 
          visit and I hope they find as much fun and 
          enjoyment as we did.   Our thoughts and prayers are 
          always with you on your next session 
          on Thursday and every day on your road to 
          recovery.  
          Keep getting stronger and putting in those pounds, 
          Dolf.  Kita tayo ulit, 'tol !! 
          Fraternally... Norman
