The youth joins Rachel Esca- lambre, 2, of Concord, Calif., who underwent a bone marrow transplant at the hospital Tues day. Doctors said Friday she also was doing well. Rachel suffers from neurob lastoma, a usually fatal cancer affecting nervous tissue. She had been given a 50-50 chance of living a normal life. 10 Heussner said the other beds in the 12-bed marrow transplant unit are currently fil led, and several patients who already have been evaluated are awaiting admission to the hos pital. Some 73 bone-marrow trans plants were completed at the university hospital last year. Since 1974, the facility has done 270 such procedures.

Noel Snyder, head biologist for the California condor recov ery team, abducted the egg when its parents started fighting and crowding the fragile egg in their nest in the mountains of the condor country north of Los Angeles. “They were jostling the egg, and Snyder decided it was an emergency situation,” zoo spokesman Jeff Jouette said Friday. “We believe the egg is OK, but there is some concern for its viability because the male and female were fighting, and the male wouldn’t let the female sit on the egg. It went four hours without being covered by either parent today, and that could be dangerous for the egg,” Jouette said. ^tinina 0tooni -sp- Serving Luncheon Buffet Sunday through Friday 1:00 a.m. to 1:30 Delicious Food Beautiful View XOpen to the Public ^ | “Quality First” spectacular Spring Starts Tuesday, April 12 at 8 a.m- Bon Jour® T-Shirts Hurry, this famous status signature look is sure to sell fast!
