It has been suggested that due to the serious nature of the thread that I previously posted (in "BS Non-Musical") more Mudcatters might see if I post it here in the general forum. So, I am re-posting the notice to be certain anyone who wants to participate will be able to. Thanks to all of you who have responded - I am delivering them to Jody tomorrow.

A SAD NOTE: Mudcatter Cranky Yankee, Jody Gibson, is very ill with cancer and has asked that his friends be informed of the critical nature of his illness. I know he would appreciate being remembered in your thoughts and prayers and I also know that he'd be thankful for the same for his family, which has been such a support and comfort for him.

Jody's spirits remain positive and strong, but his body is fatigued by the aggressive chemotherapy he is undergoing. His incredible wife, Donna, is doing a great job of caring for him both physically and spiritually - she even manages to arrange for friends to visit and play music with/for him, which he greatly appreciates.

So please keep Jody in mind and if you have a greeting for Jody, I promise to deliver it to him and Donna for you. I'll check back daily and pick up messages left on this thread - or you can send him email through me at Mudcat PM or the address below.

Thanks, Cindy - seagoddess

This is an important topic, but there are many important topics in the non-music part of the Forum. It is possible that a few Mudcatters never, ever look on the bottom half of the Forum Menu, but most do. I'm going to close this thread so we don't split the discussion.
