Thanks for the update on Jerry.  Some of us were recently talking about him and we didn't know what had happened.  Please give him our best and let him know that he has been missed.

Will do. He is in rehab as of now with some improvements but has a long road ahead of him . He is very well missed throughout Virginia and other places by many .
