MIAMI (AP) - First, his +
year-old son died of leukemia
Then, a second son underwent
surgery for cancer, and a third
son had a leg amputated to stop
the spread of the disease. Now,
Raymond Southerland is in a
hospital with a brain tumor
“We told them what could
happen, the pros and the cons,"
Southerland said Tuesday. “It
was a bad blow, but they han-
dled themselves well. They
tried to keep my spirits up.
"My children, after what they
have been through, are very
sturdy,” said the 37-yearold
Dade County policeman. "When
we talk about cancer, we don’t
leave anything out."

accosted an unarmed messen-
ger bringing two bags of secu-

bank, the policeman said. He
said they apparently were

“The total time was about 10

Sunshine to
chase cold
By The Associated Press
Winter played another cat-
and-mouse game with Texas to-
day.
A slow warmup continued in
most sections—so slow that
many found it hard to detect as
they awoke to another frigid
morning. And while official
forecasters promised more sun-
shine to dent the cold, they also
promised another norther by
Friday night or Saturday in the
west and north parts of the
state.
Skies were generally clear
and expected to stay that way.
Temperatures near dawn
dropped to 14 degrees at Marfa
in the West Texas mountains
and the warmest spot in the
state at 40 was Brownsville in
the extreme south.
Readings at other points in-
cluded El Paso 20, San Antonio

Cotulla, Dallas-Fort Worth and

Cancer Institute.
“He had been suffering from
blackouts for the past three
years," said Stephen. "The doc-
tors thought it might be his
nerves because of having all
three kids in the family coming
down with cancer.”
“I felt a dizziness," said
Southerland, who works in a
school-police liaison program
and sometimes substitutes as
an airborne traffic reporter for
a Miami radio station. “But it
was crazy, so weird that it
wasn't something you’d com-
plain about.

Stevie that I never had time to

he and Ted Kennedy Jr. became
friends after both underwent leg
amputations to stop the spread
of bone cancer. Stephen and
young Kennedy, the son of Sen.

Stephen's 4-year-old brother,
Jeffrey, died of lymphatic leu-
