I am sure many of you have noticed that Joel Pate has not been on the list serve for awhile. Joel had a stroke and had to have surgery to stop the bleeding in his brain. He is still in Neurology ICU but is making such good progress that he will be going to a private room very soon. I talked to Linda several times and asked if I could post something about Joel on the List serve and she was delighted. She has been getting so many phone calls she can't handle all of them. Tonight Linda was on cloud nine. Joel's speach is coming back and seems to be doing great. Please remember him and Linda in your prayers. Linda will keep me updated and I will pass the word on to all of you through this venue. -- Clovis
