Jack you had us worried and wondering what had happened to you. Tom and Andrea Dietrich were asking everyone if they had information on you. We feared for the worst since you were always writing and hardly missed any days. Tom was so kind to Soup Mail me and share you were still alive and you had posted. I am so glad to see your Limerick. I want to wish you great Health for the coming New Year and many many more poems from you. God bless you and keep you healthy and may you make a full recovery.

Been through a pretty rough time dear Jan! On my or about my 79th birthday I became hospital bound and poetry was the furthest thing from my mind! I suffered a massive stroke!!! Took me until now to become able to concentrate on poetry! It doesn't surprise me that you would be the first to respond...big kisses! I will be less active n the future! Thanks dear Jan XXX for my mind to concentrate on poetry!
