Those of you who know me and know I've whored in red text for the past 7 year will know that I'm being serious now. I've been asked why so quiet lately. It's been a busy time since my son's best friend and room-mate, a young man who grew up in my house as much as his own has been fighting for his life in a San Diego hospital since being hit and dragged by a tractor trailer on Dec 18th. There is a fund to help the family with their many costs, here: Friends of Matt Kelly

Thanks. And... about the appropriateness of this in the Corner? This is where my friends are.

Warm regards and wishes for a happy new year.

That's a heartwrenching story, John. I'll try to help.

 

Oh Jed, I saw stuff about this on your FB, but didn't realize he was so closely connected to you. Admittedly my budget is very tight right now, but I'll definitely take another look at it. My thoughts are with you guys and am hoping his recovery is smooth.

And there's absolutely NO reason for you to explain why you're posting this here!

 

 

Many thanks to you both. Just your encouragement helps. :-)

 

 

Wow - I'm speechless... That is really sad My thoughts are with you all

I'll take a look and see if we can help
