I quit smoking 9 months ago. It is wonderful; no more hacking in the morning, no more stopping the car for a smoke break in the rain and lots more respect for myself. There were two factors which played the biggest part in me quitting. The first was nic. patches. The second was looking at people with oxygen tanks that they lugged around because of emphysema. Recently I had knee surgery (it went quite well thank you). When coming out of anesthesia I had a thought. Why not put images of people with emphysema on my web site as an online show. I am not thinking of people that are frightening or have sinister lighting around them. I am thinking of people that are like you or I and have to be on an oxygen tank to survive. With each photo I would like to include a bio of the person and a quote of what they think about smoking. I will not be making any money from this and I will not take any donations toward it. I am funding this project with the money I am savings as a result of quitting smoking. (I always told myself I would reward myself if I quit.) As of yet I have no photos and I have been in a quandary on where to acquire them. If you can help or pass this message on to someone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated. If someone wants to contribute a photo they can send it to: Richard L. Berry Webmaster, Langwith.com 89 West 26th Avenue Eugene, Or. 97405 USA (541)344-5414
