I talked to Polly tonight

I called Polly tonight just to talk. She was happy to hear from me, but she tires easily so we kept it rather short. Her speech is somewhat slurred and she got confused a few times, but her sense of humor is intact.

We talked about the RESULTS International Conference in July and I told her we already had a meeting scheduled with Senator Grassley. She said that she didn't always agree with the way he voted, but that she considered him a person of integrity.

Her twin great-grandsons were here from Atlanta to see her. Polly said she had a "great team of family" who care for her on a constant basis.

Her parting words to me were, "Wouldn't it be great if I were still alive in July?" I think it would be great if the RESULTS Conference could honor Polly in some way.
