Annual Easter Letter-- Hello to All and Happy Spring! __________*___________ HELLO AND HAPPY EASTER 2009!
This Easter Season has been different than all the others I have seen, because my mother, Enid W. Baxter, after 3 1/2 years of illness, passed away on Palm Sunday 2009 at exactly 10.26pm. She is now in a better place where their is no more suffering. Her Memorial Service was on Wednesday, April 15. The service was a great tribute to my mother, who lived a very good life as a Saint. I want to thank all those who have lifted my mother and my family up in prayer, and for those who attended and participated in her Memorial Service. That was a real blessing for my family.

http://billworld92683.tripod.com/arsenal/ I am going on my 5th Season this year as a Season Ticket Holder. for the Long Beach Armada. The Long Beach Armada replace The Angels 5 years ago, because of that teams ultimate disloyalty to the fans and community of Orange County. In Baseball, the fans always come first, and if they don't, I go somewhere else where they do come first. I a trying to root fro The Angels when they play, but if they lose, it doesn't exactly break my heart. I have done the National Anthem a number of times at Armada Home Games, I I hope to get the opportunity this season as well. I Sang the National Anthem 3 times last Season. I also sang the National Anthem 3 times at Anaheim Arsenal (NBA DL) Games this year. I had been a Season Ticket Holder for The Anaheim Arsenal as Well for the last 2 years. Sadly, they will have a new home in Springfield, MA; next year. I am still unemployed, and it's been close to 16 months now. When I had worked with St. Jude, the company was very compassionate towards my Disability, but there was a small clique working in the same office as me, and they continually tried to make things difficult for me. Eventually someone told a lie about me, and that is when I lost my job of 8 years. Unfortunately, I am out of a job, as our country seems to be moving into another recession, and that small clique at The St. Jude Cancer Center probably got away with murder. However, vengeance belongs to God. On May 5, 2005: I came close to finding a career position after learning a new trade. I now have a Class B Drivers License (CDL) in the State of California. I almost got a permanent job Driving The "i" Irvine Shuttle. Once again, however, I fell victim to prejudice and discrimination towards my having Tourette Syndrome. I took the High Road with St. Jude, but decided NOT to do the same with The "i" Shuttle. Son far, The California Dept. of Fair Employment and Housing and the Justice Dept. in Washington D.C. have taken on my case against The "i" Shuttle. I have enclosed a document which explains what happened more in detail. This document was submitted to both DFEH and the U.S. Justice Dept. (which handles A.D.A.). As a lot of you know, I have a rare genetic illness called Tourette Syndrome. T.S. impairs one in the workforce, in that people with this disability have a great deal of difficulty doing "Multi Task." A lot of times when a T.S. Patient tries to multi task too much, they will often make mistakes. It is extremely difficult for a person with T.S., and who is also approaching Age 55 to find employment in a sagging economy which we currently have. What I am hoping to do with the remainder of my work years (before I retire) is to do jobs where I wouldn't necessarily be making a great deal of money, but I would be giving of myself towards helping those with even worse disabilities than what I have. I may not be able to attend The Toastmasters Convention in August, and if I do get a permanent position before August, attending the convention will be impossible. I am planning on attending the convention in New England a year and a half from now. The Foxwoods Convention (in CT) may still work out yet, but I will be going with the Weekend Package which would cost me less than $500.00 for The Convention and Hotel. *******************************************************
Lent Season 2007.
I have a Fan Site for each of the 5 franchises I support through Season Tickets, Fan Websites or Both.
I have been attending Men's Breakfast/Bible Studies every Wednesday morning, while I haven't been working, and that has been good for me. That's about it for now. I hope you and your families and friends have a great Easter and Spring 2009.
Bill Baxter.
