Hello Russ,

I apologize for the fact that it took so long for me to notice and accept your friend request - I hope you didn't think I was refusing it...late August and Labor Day weekend hold many powerful and emotional memories for me, and I find my mind wandering and letting details slip through the cracks in my life - long story. I am pleased to read that you are safe there, and you have certainly been in Steve and my thoughts and prayers since it all began. Another long story there too. Anyway, thank you for your request, and write or email whenever you like - I'll try to keep up with things better!

Love,

Chuck
