Hi Eveyone my name is Robert Ziegler and i live in Glendale Ca. and i just want to let everyone know how great i feel , i received my transplant on Oct 24, 2007 at UCLA , it will be exactly 16-months tomorrow And my new kidney will be exactly 28-years old tomorrow the reason I know this is because my son Robert was my Donor....I have been married to Cindy for 31 yrs. now, actually it will be 32 yrs this April 2nd. we have 3 wonderful grown children  Jennifer age 31, Robert age 28, Michael age 23, and 1 granddaughter named Destiny age 10.
  I volunteer at the Renal Support Network here in Glendale with Lori Hartwell and her amazing staff and the animals, I enjoy my time spent their they are the coolest group of people anyone could ever meet they have helped me get back into being productive and it makes me feel real good, I thank them all for this !
