C&P paraphrase of Jules email
...I have an ongoing family emergency that will tie me up for quite some time. My mother went to the emergency room last friday with difficulty breathing at my request. She is still in the hospital and has been diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Very advanced stages.
We are trying to find a way to get her back to her home for her last days...
I will be out of the loop for a while.
I probably won't be able to reply to email for a while. No internet connection. I also won't be home.
... And also thank Loco for me. I was one of his targets.
I also won't be able to herf with Lou and Ken in a couple weeks in Ft Wayne.
Outside of that, I don't know what will be happening...
Thanks!
Jules
