[TI] Grave's Disease

[Rita Bova]

Cousin Phil,

I am looking forward to the reunion and to getting together with you and your family.  Should I come down on Saturday to Canfield?  How should I involve my son with the proceedings and how long is it?  Would Rita be able to accommodate us (my son and I) on Saturday evening?

love always, Cousin Rita

We have discussed this before.  It does appear that the gene is more prevelant in TI people than in others.  My brother Tom, uncle George (Salvatore) and my cousins daughter have Graves disease.  It is treatable.  Everyone got back to normal.
