[Gpdd] Announcement: A slow return/ Alge

[DaPiggyPirates at aol.com]

 Hi all,   

     I finally seem to be thru with all the worst effects of the radiation 
and most of the chemo stuff as well.-- Thank you, God! --  I'm going to 
slowly move back into the groove here.

So much has happened so fast.

My father died last Thursday at 2:00 AM and was buried Monday in Columbus, 
Ohio area where he was hospitalized. I wanted to see him while he was still 
alive but wasn't at all sure I could handle the travel there and back and 
carry enough liquid portable 02 for the trip, My regret is that I didn't try 
and take it on faith but we did talk on the phone during the preceeding days. 
I wanted to go on Wed. But I never expected not him to die before I saw him 
again.

Too much in too little time, but thank you all so very much for your 
suppport , prayers, gifts -- everything. Everything has meant so much. There is no 
one like a gpdd-er!!

Capt Jack and da "Little Brudder" (Barnacle Bill) are in good shape and 
have been such enjoying sailng the seas. And I can finally sit to type.  :) 

Alge

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
