Update
Bill is undergoing radiation on his shoulder and femur for the next 10 days. He appreciates the calls, however, needs rest for the next few weeks and is unable to return many of the phone calls. The best form of communication during the next two weeks would be email and I will update the website more frequently. We both appreciate the thoughts and prayers and comments, and gifts of food and flowers. He truly has amazing friends! Kristi McAnulty

Hey Mr. Mcanulty,
I gained a tremendous amount of respect coaching against you in Buechuel little league a few years back, and I’ve gained even more respect from you the way your handeling your fight. It is an honor to have met you and consider you as a freind. Good luck to you and your family, if there is anything we can ever do for you or your family, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Tom O’Shea

Judge Mc,
Just returned from the left coast and bring good wishes for you from Bill and Diane Belanger.
I have been trying to obtain a Go Big Blue poster autographped to you by Justice Thomas but thus far have come up empty. Iwill keep trying and hope you do the same.

Bill –
The volume of calls and messages and good wishes you’ve gotten is, I
hope, ‘good medicine’ for the tough challenges you’re facing. You are well loved and much respected, and I want to add my crossed fingers and prayers to all of the others for you.
The humor you’ve shown throughout your ordeal has been such an inspiration. I can’t imagine it’s easy to laugh too much as the treatment drags on, but know you’re getting a lot of encouraging smiles to help
you keep going!
Good wishes,
Joan Riehm

In the face of uncertainty we hope you find comfort in hope, faith and the love of friends and family. You and your family have touched so many lives in so many ways that if good wishes alone could eradicate this disease the flood of positive thoughts would certainly have knocked this thing by now. You have exhibited strength, humor and optimism from which we can all take heart. You will be in our thoughts and prayers now and years from now when you look back at this difficult time from a HEALTHY distance. Take care of each other - let us know if we can help in any way (although for the sake of your remaining health, I promise not to cook!) Love, Anne, Jim, Sophie & Caroline
