Needed! Notes of love and encouragement

[JoAnne/Ja Young ten Doesschate]

For those not on the Facebook group Please send some love and encouraging wishes to alumni John Madonia, '89, and his wife, Paula Peterson, '92. For those of you who knew him, John was in COCA and I-Con and for many years the Union Building manager. Three weeks ago his daughter, Stephanie, was diagnosed with cancer and last week had a colon resection and a kidney and mass removed. They are awaiting news on what to do next. In 2005 their 5 year old son Johnny died of lymphoma so they are scared, to say the least.  John's email is jmad...@notes.cc.sunysb.edu There are photos of John and Paula in this article about their son. For many years before he moved to the library, students in Statesman, the Press and other media is the Union basement depended on John to solve all their building needs - and John had continued to volunteer for I-Con every year after graduation.    http://www.aa2sbu.org/aaezine/articles/vol13/13N2JohnnyMadonia2000-2005.shtml
