Like Karen Giantasio, I, too, had the pleasure of an outstanding guided tour of Scotland with Alex. He may be our "resting giant" at the moment, but if any man has the power to recover, it is our Alex.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Alex and to your family. Please do what the doctors say, don't make the nurses mad and get well soon. I will miss seeing you at the Flagstaff Celtic Festival this year.
