I want to add that I have some additional issues that will take more of my
time and will require me to seek others to step forward and fill in.
During my trip to Colorado, my mother took a bad fall, and what was to be
a visit in Oklahoma, turned into putting her in a nursing facility and
getting Hospice care. Thankfully, I had gotten a durable power of attorney
document in place a year ago, so it made it possible to get all of her
affairs transferred to me. Thanks to our wonderful broken healthcare
system, we must liquidate all of her assets to pay for her care, even with
insurance. This is one of my most immediate obligations, along with the
explosion of work in my business, after the first half of the year making
little money. I ask that those of you who said you would help with
Oktoberfest back when we decided to go forward with the event, to contact
David Young and get on his list of volunteers. Thanks, Marcus
