Yours sincerely,
There was a brawl going on in the lobby on the fifth floor and the orderly watched me walk towards him at the door. I then said, Im getting out of this room! so, he moved between me and the door and said, Go for it! I turned toward the beds, started running across the room, jumped on the bed next to the window and vaulted through the window so I could be a few feet from the window ledges that I would pass on the way down. But as I was passing through the window, I looked down and saw bushed just below the window I was jumping through. I also saw a cleared area of sand four feet to my left, so I kicked at the breaking window to get some momentum so I could land directly into the sand garden. I knew the sand would be like concrete at the conclusion of my fall. I also knew I wanted to live a complete life after I recovered from my quick stop at my finishing speed of 35 mph. I knew if I wanted to live with most of my present brain, I had to make a good landing. As I was falling, I imagined myself on a cross, and I was praying to jesus. I could not totally forget my body as Christ seemingly did as he was hanging on the cross. I did not believe in a total human spirit without including all parts of the body. So I knew I had to include my entire body so I could still live in this world. The closest to a major bone after my neck was not my collarbone but my shoulder blades. When I had deduced this, another half of a floor had passed me. In other words, I had fallen three and a half floors when I had come to the conclusion that my shoulders had to his first, followed by the rest of my body. Thus pointing my feet at the building and putting my hands down toward my feet. I was prepared for the next step.
Four feet above the ground, I saw the bushes in the garden. I knew I had to hit the ground with my shoulders at more of a right angle than they were. I decided to pull my knees close to my chest and land on my backside. The landing was hard. First my shoulder, then my pelvis and legs hit. My legs were crossed when I hit. That positioning helped save most of my present brain. My shoulder and legs lessened the hard blow to my brain. Later on I was told my shoulder has left a dent in the sand that was eight inches deep. My pelvis left a dent in the sand that was eight and a half inches deep. The impact put me in an extended come over the next eight and a half days. I was literally blown away; mostly because after hitting the ground I had collapsed both my lungs, which had not allowed me to breathe for between two to three minutes. The next thing I remember was my brother, Albert. When Albert finally come to visit me after eight days, he opened the door, stepped in, then he said, Alan, if youre here, Im stating. If not, Im leaving. Bye! he turned around and started to leave. Part of my mind opened. I said to hem, Albert!!!Im right here. Albert turned around and said, Alan, is that you? Do you need anything? I said, Yes! Im hungry. Albert called for a nurse. The nurse came and asked if there was a problem. He said Yes, my brother is hungry. The nurse then said, What? Is he awake? There was a shuffle and after a brief examination the doctor decided that I could have a popsicle. When the popsicle was approaching my mouth I lunged forward and took half of the popsicle , stick and all, in one bite.
After a summer in Maine. It was time to go back to Florida. Since my legs were stronger, I felt it had been a successful trip. Thus, when we started boarding the jet plane, I was not using a wheel chair or even a walker. I was walking on my own two feet. Back in Florida, during my recovery with my parents, I did not have any money so they decided to give me some money to go play Bingo. I was allowed to keep all the money I won on the games. The trick to winning at Bingo was for me to use my statistical education from the University of North Carolina a Chapel Hill. The question was, how do I get a card that will enable me to win once a month, given I would be playing twice a week. The solution was to pick four numbers for each bingo card and make the eight cards have those four numbers to each of the cards as randomly as possible. Solving this allowed me to win a stipend, twenty-five dollars a month. This meant I could buy a portable stereo and listen to music again. It even gave me enough money to start playing pool again. I had to relearn how to play pool but with my stereo earphones on and the music playing, I was in my own little world as I played the game. I studied my opponents body motions and learned to use them against him. Also, I relearned how to study the reflection of light on the cue ball so I could control the friction from the table on the ball, thus winning the game. I may not fully recover, but each day is a challenge that I meet head on. Alan Dean Opie Openshaw
November 30, 1992 Alan Dean Openshaw 202 Union Street Apartment #6, 3rd Floor Bangor, ME 04401 Dear Mr. Openshaw: Thank you for your interest in AIDS treatment research. Outlined below are the additional data needed to review the Two Solutions to AIDS, referred to in your recent letter. As the Executive Secretary of the NIH AIDS Clinical Drug Development Committee (ACDDC). I am responsible for reviewing submitted information on promising agents for AODS that require further clinical development. The Committee was established by Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), to advise this Division of AIDS (DAIDS) regarding agents to be studies to clinical trials sponsored by the AIDS Clinical Research on AIDS (CPERA). The ACDDC is composed of both Government and non0Government experts. Non-Government experts include ACTG and CPCRA investigators, thus providing continuity and enabling speedier movement of drugs into clinical trials. Drugs may be submitted to the Committee by sponsors in industry, academia, and/or Government. Following a thorough review of data on each drug, the Committee assigns it a rating of Recommended of Not Recommended for Clinical Trials at This Time. The criteria for evaluation include a rationale, laboratory, evidence of activity, safety information in animals and demonstrations of in vivo efficacy. The DAIDS decides which drugs will enter clinical trials it sponsors, taking into account the recommendations of the Committee. Because of the large number of suggestions proffered by individuals and organizations regarding treatment of this disease as well as the substantial time and effort required to review the relevant data, it has become necessary to limit review of suggested therapies to those which have demonstrated scientific merit. The ACDDC has established suggested guidelines for the submission of data for review in order to analyze a potential therapeutic candidate in a rational and objective scientific manner which will assure optimal use of federal funds and national. resources.

Man suffers head injuries in plunge from moving car Doug Kesseli of the NEWS Staff Publication Date: July 28, 1990: 9 Edition: PENOBSCOT
A Bangor man was being evaluated at St. Joseph Hospital late Friday afternoon for possible head injuries after he stepped out of a car as it was traveling 50 miles an hour southbound on Interstate 95. A hospital nursing supervisor reported early Friday afternoon that X-rays were being taken to determine the extent of head injuries suffered by Alan Openshaw, 33, of Court Street. A Maine state trooper investigating the accident said Openshaw had tumbled about 30 feet along the roadway after he left the car driven by Nancy White, 39 of Bangor. White said Openshaw has asked her to stop the car but got out before she could do so. Bangor Patrolman Stephen Jordan said he arrived at the scene around 1:30 p.m. and found Openshaw lying in the breakdown late between Exits 48 and 49. The accident occurred on a section of the interstate parallel with the Oriental Jade Restaurant. State Trooper Barry Curtis, who was investigating the incident with t Trooper Barry Curtis, who was investigating the incident with Trooper Cliff Sibley and skid marks made by Openshaws clothing show that the man rolled about 30 feet before coming to a stop. Curtis said a large pool of blood was found where Openshaw first struck the hardtop pavement. Witnesses reported that Openshaw had received other minor cuts and scrapes. White said she and Openshaw were on the interstate heading toward the Broadway exit when Openshaw asked to get out. She said she then began to move toward the breakdown lane as she told him to wait until she could stop. As soon as he reached over (for the door handle), I slammed on the brakes, she said, but I couldnt completely stop the car before he got out. It happened so fast. Openshaw apparently sat up minutes later in the breakdown lane but became agitated when an ambulance crew tried to strap on neck end elbow graces. he doesnt really like to be confined, White said outside of the hospitals emergency room where Openshaw was being treated. She added later that physicians were concerned with Openshaws emotional state as well as his physical state. While normally Openshaw has a positive attitude, sh said that for the past week he seemed a little depressed. White said she has known Openshaw since April when he came into the law office where she works and asked to help with a specific case. White would not say what case had caught the mans interest. Since that time, she said he would run errands, look up words in a dictionary, and do small chores in the office. On Friday
White said she would take him to lunch at a different restaurant in the Bangor area. Being new to Bangor, this helped her to get to know the area better, she said. I never had any inkling that this would happen, she said.
JEFFERSON HAD A DREAM THOMAS Jeffersons dream is that every man, woman, And child is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness. in our country it is the Supreme Courts job to interpret these words. Even our highest court is not infallible. Take for example its Decision in the Roe vs. Wade decision, Which it legalized abortion. One of the persons In Jeffersons dream is being denied the rights Jefferson stated he or she is entitled to. It seems as if womens rights, In the Supreme Courts judgment are more Important that a childs God given right to live.

WHY DID CHRIST HAVE TO DIE? It was to show Adam About Gods unconditional Love. God told Adam he had sinned, that he must die for repentance Jesus died and come to life After 3 days to show Adam that if he would die and not Listen to the devil, Gods Love Would bring Life to all the faithful. Christ died to teach Adam and his children That being faithful leads to eternal life.
Gods love has no end and we are The image of God by accepting his Love; Like him we are in him as he is in us. When we accept Gods Love, being unconditional, We can be said to be more like Him and Being like him we begin striving toward Perfection because his Love is Perfect. The Greatest Love of all is the Love of oneself. As we strive for Becoming perfect in Gods Love we can feel his presence and with Our Heart starting towards perfection We become able to see his face. Thus Love is Life and Love is unending. Life can then become unending Becoming more like God, life begins to become eternal with not having to pass through death.
