Michael C

Got a call from Les this morning. He heard from Michael's close friend Jim Hall. Michael is alive. I surmise that he is doing better, although still in very critical condition. He apparently tried to pull his breathing tube out so there is some function. Got word late last night that family had been contacted so that is no longer a concern either. Keep your fingers crossed for our paisan. I will let you know when I know more.

Michael is a sweet man with a lot of integrity. It showed up in every plate of food. Here's hoping he gets a bunch more swings at life's pinata.

I got an email from Kit Bacon that Michael C. is smiling and awake. It sounds very encouraging. We wish him a speedy recovery.
