Here is a close up My points on Lydia Lerma, when
I met this woman, it was scary having her in my
class, because of her physical condition and the
12 pills a day that she use to take for the
heart, well 5 years later, she takes one or two
pills a day and she weight less then what she
weighed in 1944 when she married the late Coach
Lerma, can I cook or can I cook, can I bring some
one back from bad conditions to great health or
what, if an 86 year old woman can regain her
health with us, who wants to be next.
