SINGER FREDDY FENDER DEAD AT AGE 69
Singer Freddy Fender died at his home with his family in
Texas after battling a string of illnesses including lung
cancer. He was 69. Freddy had been getting treatment in
Oklahoma for the disease, but was transferred to a hospital
in San Antonio, Texas last week because of a blood infection.
He was discharged on Thursday but passed away on Saturday.
Fender's turbulent medical history also included drug and
alcohol abuse, diabetes and hepatitis C. He received a kidney
from his daughter in 2002 and a liver transplant in 2004.
Born Baldemar Huerta, his music career included the hit
country ballad 'Before The NExt Teardrop Falls' in 1975,
which propelled him to fame. Extremely proud of his Mexican-
American heritage, Fender won a Grammy of Best Latin Pop
Album in 2002 for La Musica De Baldemar Huerta. He also
shared in two Grammys: with the Texas Tornados. Aside from
music he appeared in the 1987 movie 'The Milagro Beanfield
War'.

I'm Walking Here....
Here's an item (the Telescopic Walking Stick) that I never
really thought I would use. But I decided to try it out
when we went for a walk along a trail a few weeks ago.
It was fun to use.... yes I said fun. When we would come up
to a stream, I would poke at things in it. I also used it
when I wanted to venture off the beaten path, just to make
sure that there were no snakes in front of me. Believe it or
not, it made the walk more enjoyable. Check it out and the
unbelievable low price.
Normal Price: $19.99
DEAL PRICE: $8.27
Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for a little
extra help walking around, the Telescopic Walking Stick is
just what you need. It's fully adjustable to fit your height
and the spring loaded shaft helps reduce strain on your wrists,
back, knees, legs and feet. With a built in compass it will get
you through hard rocky terrain or just across the street.
