Hi all,

I originally sent this message out to the Campbells and Stewarts on May
18:

>I apologize if anyone is upset by my posting this here, but you all are
>such a great bunch of folks...
>
>My uncle is terminally ill and every day he waits for the mail, hoping
>he'll get something besides MORE medical bills. I would like to ask any
>and all who are able to pick up a cheerful postcard and drop him a "hang
>in there" kind of message. That way he could get mail from all over the
>country AND have pictures to look at on his better days.
>
>This would mean the world to me and help a dying man during his final
>days. Thank you.

First, I want to thank all of you who responded to this message. Your
support has meant so much to me.

And second, I would like to send this request out once again (to a few
more people this time - sorry for any cross-posting) My uncle has gone
back into the hospital again and the doctor says he has 2-4 weeks left.
Because of the pain medication he has to have, he isn't up to long,
chatty letters...but bright, cheerful postcards are something that he
can look at during the worst moments.

Please take a moment out of your busy day to help keep his spirits
up...genealogists really ARE the best people around...they understand
the importance of family, living AND dead.

Thank you again. Mail sent to his home address will be delivered to him
at the hospital until he comes home.
