An old list member, Bob Brooks, wanted to let us know that one of our 
current members, Mike Sloan, has had some medical issues.   Here is his 
report.  I don't have an address for Diane and doubt she is checking Mikes 
email.   Bobs email is below and maybe  he can pass any thoughts or words.

If I get any contact info for her or get any further information, I'll let 
you know.
