Married to Patrick Napier.  Born Again Christian.  Gormet cook.  A former Norman Rockwell model.  Born and raised in Vermont, settled down in the NE Georgia mountain area, foothills of the Smoky Mountains.  Patrick, graduate of Florida State, was in the Navy.  I am a veteran of the United States Air Force.  

    Mother of three children,  mother of one child, little Ronnie, who passed away at the age of 5 1/2 of leukemia in 1970.  I had a child born while he was ill.  Found out recently that perhaps my precious Ronnie could have recovered by using stem cells used from the umbilical material of his baby sister.

    I mourn for some children of this day who are abused, hungry, because of uncaring parents.  It seems in our community, some children are safer in school than at home.  Our school district is offering free bag lunches daily this summer to qualified chldren because they are not being fed at home.

    I think "The Doctors" is a very good community narrative to educate people for better health, positive advice to function in a world of confusion that is lacking just plain common sense on how to live a life that is happy and productive.  I find being a Christian, active in a local church that is instrumental in helping others in our county in many walks of life who need assistance in many problem areas.

       America is the best country on this earth and will contiune to be so if politics continue to bring it down.  Many people will go ahead with their egos to fix things that aren't broke.  We need to focus more on others that ourselves, love others, especially those who are difficult to love. The very most person that needs change begins with myself each day, then I am open to be able to help others.  For this reason, your TV show is of great benefit to help educate others to live a better life.  Ignorance is not bliss.  Knowledge is precious. Keep up the good work.  I am ordering the book, "The Portable Pediatrician" for my granddaughter who just gave birth to a precious little boy.  This is her first child.

     God bless everyone on your staff.
