22 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 20, 1990 November week dedicated to understanding gene disorder November 18-24 is Marfan Syn- drome Awareness Week throughout Canada. Marfan Syndrome is a life- threatening genetic disorder that weakens the connective tissues of the body. It can affect the skeletal system, the eyes, and most seriously, the heart and major blood vessels, causing death or disability. However, if diagnosed early, recently developed treatments of- fer increased length and quality of life for Marfan patients. About 5,000 Canadians have Marfan Syndrome.

Ruby Bryant is presently in Oshawa General Hospital. Ruby had hip surgery three weeks ago. She was looking forward to com- ing home soon, when she fell and broke two bones above her ankle. Now, she has about four or five more weeks to spend in the hospital. I was in to visit Ruby this past week. She was very cheerful, and trying to make the best of the unfortunate situation. We hope she will make steady progress. We are pleased to hear that Bill Davis is able to be home from the: hospital. Our best wishes to Bil from his many friends.
