[AT] from Charlie Hill

[kgwaugh0943 at gmail.com]

Charlie, so good to hear that things were caught before too late, and that
things are under control.  I too function with one halfway decent eye -
legally blind in the right, although I do see some with it.  Right at 20-40
in my "good" eye...not great, but so very, very much better than nothing at
all!

Good to hear Charlie, I sent you an email directly last night, only to
remember you can't reply. Glad you are doing better, and it wasn't something
more sinister. Thanks for passing this along Bo.
