[AJD] How can we help Greg Stephen?

[Bill Brueck]

Dean et al:

While I agree we'd all like to do something for Greg and family, it might be
better to clear any plans with Greg before proceeding.  While he posted to
this list, and once something is out on the 'net it's kind of out of the
bag, I'd still recommend the caution of checking before cross posting to the
other lists.

As one who has misfired more than my share of e-mails over the last few
years, maybe I'm a little over cautious.  Once that send button is pushed,
there's no calling it back.

Just a thought from an old guy with a couple of cyber-scars.  Thanks for the
initiative, Dean.  Any extent of personal relationship with Greg has been
just over the past couple of months for me as we've exchanged a few messages
and I've ordered some small stuff from him.

Subject: [AJD] How can we help Greg Stephen?

I have been staring at the wall trying to figure out if there is something
we as list members could do to help Greg at the moment. Obviously continue
with our thoughts and prayers for Dan's recovery. But there isn't much we
can do medically to help.  

But a thought did cross my mind.  I suspect Greg is spending most of his
time at the hospital and not able to respond to business calls or even maybe
to get things shipped against orders. Don't know how much back-up he has. I
would suspect his brothers, etc are trying to help somehow. 

However, we as JD List members are connected to other JD collectors, JD Two
Cylinder Clubs, etc. Would it be a good idea if we make an extra effort to
try to inform all of our JD contacts and JD clubs that Greg may be out of
pocket for a bit? At least this might lighten the burden in Franktown a bit
and keep customer frustrations at a lower level for those who haven't been
informed. What do you guys think? 

Any other ideas would be appreciated as well. 

I haven't seen anything on YTMag or Johnny Popper so I thought I might put a
note on those two boards to try to help.
