Hi, Everyone!

Spoke to Bob, yesterday during my lunch break at work. We had a nice chat but had to cut it short because his therapist arrived for a session. He asked me to post and let everyone know that he is over the worst of it and is feeling much better and in a couple of months he will be back home and will reconnect with us all at JPF. He spoke very warmly of our JPF family and he misses us. Although he is having severe vision problems, he is not completely blind, and with the help of computer software he will begin posting again when he gets home. He is still singing and playing music and writing songs. He sounded very upbeat and positive. It was great to hear his voice.

I had wondered why I couldn't listen to his song, Christmas in Chicago on Soundclick and found out that a radio station had picked up the song (which is why it's not posted anymore) and was selling downloads of it. The proceeds are going to charity and I think he said there was more than a thousand downloads of it. It has become very popular.

Thanks again to Bobbie who has helped us get back in touch with him.
