  TRIP NOTES
One plane went down Thursday, to stay on the Cadeje side. Three came down Friday. Two stayed on the Mulege side and one, Robin Gauss, in his C337, went to the Cadeje side for the first dirt strip landing in his newly acquired plane. The weather was good in both directions. A plaque commemorating Marilynn Enns was placed in the lobby of the clinic. It looks great!

  MEDICAL CLINIC
On the medical side, Dr. John Vallee and Nurse Practitioner Beth Morgan saw patients and were assisted by Natalie Araiza, and Sarah Bridge.  Cristel Witt did triage and, along with Tawna Elsworth, took blood pressures and other vitals. Myra Cochran ran the pharmacy, with Bettina Norton helping.

  DENTAL CLINIC
The  dental clinic was busy, with  Dr. Kevin Miller and Dr.  John Grube doing extractions, fillings and delivering one denture case.  Karyn Yule did triage and sterilization, while Patsi Hodges and Larry Cochran assisted and filled in where needed.
