Good point, Kendall.

Max, I am thankful that you've told us what is happening and you know we all wish you the best, but I don't like the "so long it's been good t' know ya" tone of some of these messages!**BG** Sure, we won't "see" or "hear" as much of you, for the moment, but you and Mudcat are still going to be here and that is really important.

It IS more important that you do what you need to do and take care of yourself, first. I know from our conversation the other night that Mudcat is right up there in your heart, alongside others near and dear to you. Because of that, I am telling phoaks, we need to put on our thinking caps and help Max figure out a way to actually make a living at doing the Mudcat.

I don't mean just through our own fundraising, I mean through grants, catologues of Mudcatters' crafts etc. for sale, whatever, let's start really putting as much into this as Max does and see if we can come up with a way to help him and the Mudcat.

If I am totally off-base, please say so, Max. You know you have my love and support and beams of good thoughts coming atcha.:-)
