Myron- I just heard about your battle this week. You may not know me by name, but you have refereed many of my basketball games. I am a coach at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. I just wanted to say that I always was happy to see you walk into the gym when we had a game. You always had a smile and a positive comment for everyone. You are one of the most fair and consistent referees at our games. I just wanted you to know that I was deeply touched by the article in the paper and your incredibly positive attitude. My Father lost his battle with leukemia 15 1/2 years ago. Medical technology has come a long way since then. You keep fighting. It looks like you have a great many friends praying for you. You can count me one of them. God Bless, Bryan Benke
