Re: Earl Contact Schedule

 We thought it would be a good idea, at least for the near future, to make 
 sure that Earl had a minimum of one contact (preferably verbal, but email 
 is an option, too) from his kids each day, to help combat loneliness, 
 depression, etc.  To make it simple, here's a proposed schedule whereby 
 we each are responsible for a set day each week.  Since there are 5 
 siblings and I didn't want to double up on any of you, I have added 
 spouses (by luck of the draw) for the other two days.  But remember that 
 this is just a minimum and you are free to call on other days in addition 
 to your scheduled day.   We can re-evaluate after a while to see how well 
 this is working.
 
 Monday - Debby
 Tuesday - Marc
 Wednesday - Daniel
 Thursday - Susan
 Friday - Michelle
 Saturday - Seth
 Sunday - Nat/Sherri
 
 Please let me (and others on this list) know if this is okay with 
 you.  Also, Earl is supposed to change his cell VM message daily, so we 
 know he is okay in the event we can't reach him by phone.  So far this 
 system seems to be working.
 
Thanks,
Susan
