More Chamber Coverage Without your coverage, I wouldn't know what Randy Gordon thought about the Boys and Girls Club Fundraiser. Thank you! Nikki Conkings Good luck Dr. Uba! We hope to see you at the finish line to celebrate! We'll have bandaids! Barbie Barker Go, Dr. Uba, Go! We are so proud of you! Thanks for all you do! Barbie Barker & the entire board Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach Cheri Dr. Uba is kind, generous and dedicated to helping children. I am so proud that he is my doctor also. Way to go Dr. Uba! You're the best. Hope your Achilles feels okay! Needs update But what about Randy Gordon? Did Dr. Uba completing his trek have any effect on Randy Gordon's opinion of Dr. Uba? Does Randy Gordon stil "admire him so much"? Or is it possible that Randy Gordon admires him even more than he did before (though that seems hard to believe). Kiyo Fujimoto Congratulations on a hugh accomplishment for a wonderful cause. I am proud to say I also am one of your patients.
