I'm writing to let folks know that over the last three weeks Joe Thomas has been seriously ill. He has had two emergency surgeries, one to remove a section of his colon and another to address a blockage in his small intestine. He remains in the hospital and is waging a really tough battle.

He isn't up for phone conversations yet, but I'm sure would welcome emails. You may reach out to him directly at jrthomas42@aol.com.

Peace,

Marsha
