For all the Pineyfesters and old time JPF poster-folk...I wanted to post an update on our good friend, Bob Young. I called him yesterday and ended up leaving a message. His beloved wife, Mary, whom he talked about all the time (but I had never met) called me back. Last year was a rough one for both of them. Bob ended up battling a staph infection (MRSA - drug resistant type) that infected one of his feet. He lost several toes. In the middle of dealing with that...Mary herself was diagnosed with lung cancer. She had to put Bob in a nursing home because she could not care for herself, let alone him at home. Mary is still dealing with her cancer issues so Bob is still in the nursing home. He cannot call anyone but locals from there...but if anyone would like to call and cheer him up...I do have his phone number. Mary says he would love to hear from folks. I am sure our buddy must get bored since he can't see well enough to use a computer.

I have so many hysterical memories of Bob at Pineyfests of yore...Blind Lemon Pledge...falling over in my chair...turning the AC up so high he froze the AC unit at Pineyhouse (when it was 98 degrees). Call or e me and I will give you his phone number.

Hugs,
Bobbie

Let's show Bob some love!
