Christmas came early for me as I just finished listening to Dan Fogelberg: A Retrospective Interview! I purchased this cd, not for the music (as I have it all, of course!) but for the rare chance to hear this private man speak about the inspiration and thoughts behind his incredible works. Much to my happiness, the interviewer, Fred Migliore, did an outstanding job of engaging Dan with insightful, well thought out questions. To hear Dan laugh, reminisce and enlighten us with each track was a treat I shall treasure! Cheers to FM Odyssey for making this available for all to hear! - C.H. 

I received the cd set and I am telling everyone about it because I am enjoying the interview with Dan Fogelberg and I am truly fascinated with the stories behind the songs. Thank you so much for sending it to me. I am so glad I decided to buy this for myself as a Christmas gift because I will treasure it for the rest of my life. - Michele M.

Just finished listening to my Christmas present - Dan's interview CD with Fred. What an awesome gift to have for years to come. This candid interview revealed answers to questions that had been going around in my head, such as what or whom is the song Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) about. I'll be truthful - I did not want this interview or CD to end, as it felt like Dan was being interviewed today and that we would be hearing from him again in the future. - Aaron B., Montana

Hey my fellow DanFan Brothers... ...have you been tested this year? When Dan passed away I made a resolution to get tested every year and made an appointment with my doc. The DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) is never fun but it only lasts a few seconds. Dr. Poirier said my prostate felt normal. Next I went for lab work - the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test. Normal levels are below 4.0 and my level of PSA was 0.4 - Those are the results from 2008.

2009 Good to go. 2010 came and I made my appointment again. The DRE for 2010 - normal. PSA was 0.19

Ladies... ...get your husband, boyfriend, brothers, fathers and any other males you know 40 years old and above to make the appointment and get tested.

Did you know that men can get prostate cancer passed on to them from their mother as well as from their father? It's true... ...The Prostate Cancer Update - A Publication of the James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions states ""We now know of at least two different methods of transmission of prostate cancer," says Isaacs, "from father to son, and mother to son." 

William Isaacs, Ph.D., has spent much of the last decade testing his self-discipline with the greatest puzzle of all, the human genome. He is searching for the genes involved in hereditary prostate cancer (see "What is HPC?" ); his initial tests took him through the body's 23 pairs of chromosomes at the astonishing rate of about 10 million base pairs (genetic building blocks) at a time, and gleaned a handful of promising sites that deserved further study. 

After those giant strides, however, the next part has had Isaacs creeping at what seems a snail's pace--if his previous tests were the equivalent of flying over an area, now he's conducting a house-to-house search, examining hundreds of genes, one at a time. He is working mostly in the dark: He doesn't know how many genes he's looking for, and -- although he and colleagues have narrowed it down considerably -- he still isn't sure exactly where to find them. Worse, nobody has ever looked at these genes before. So before he can even determine whether or not a gene looks promising, he must first figure out what it is. Think of an explorer sailing in uncharted waters, facing a string of islands, investigating each one and producing a topographical map. "Each one of these genes," he explains, "could be a Ph.D. dissertation in itself, just to identify and characterize the gene, get the structure and sequence it," not to mention comparing all of this new information in the DNA of hundreds of men with HPC and their families. 

And yet, slowly but surely, this hard work is paying off: So far, Isaacs and colleagues at Hopkins and the National Human Genome Research Institute have found good evidence that at least two of these defective genes do indeed exist: One is somewhere on Chromosome 1, and the other, most recently discovered, ties on the X chromosome -- a milestone in cancer research, this is the first time the X chromosome (which sons inherit from their mothers) has been definitively linked to a major cancer. Isaacs would love to start figuring out the role those aberrant genes play in the cascade of events leading to prostate cancer. Instead, he is steeling himself to keep turning over those pieces -- in this case, the pieces are thousands of undiscovered genes--until he can see the puzzle in its entirety. Although they haven't yet pinpointed the faulty genes on either chromosome, Isaacs and colleagues have identified certain characteristics that suggest which mutation a family may have: In families with a mutated HPC1 gene.
