Hale book and more

Hi Hales,

I have two bits of information for you. First, I just wanted you to know that my son Jack was just diagnosed with Autism. It will be a long and hard road, but his happy smile is what keeps us going every day. We have started him in early intervention and have his name on several lists for autistic pre-schools. If any of you have any information or "people" we could talk to regarding it, please pass it on. We are new at this and have a lifetime of learning ahead of us. We also know that the Lord sent him to us for a reason. We feel blessed, and humbled, that He would trust us with this obligation.

Secondly, I have officially started the "Hale's Angels" book. It will mostly be photos, but I would love some comments on quotes or sayings of Grandma and Grandpa Hale. I know you all have favorite lines from plays or sayings they used to say.

My favorite, "Run your fat little legs upstairs and get my purse." - Ruth Hale
