Folks,

Last week, Ruth Dreyer, our Mark's wife, wrote:

The last thing I heard from Ruth was that Mark was hanging in there and was still
under sedation.

Three of you have written to me personally to get Mark's address and to ask how
to get messages to him.

The address mrdreyer at lantic.net belongs to both Mark and Ruth, and Ruth seems to
check their mail regularly.  I sent her a somewhat humorous cheer-up card for
Mark (http://www.lowlands-l.net/treasures/vir_mark.gif),* and she said she'd show
it to him as soon as he is fully conscious and awake (which I hope is now).  I
understood this as meaning that she implied that she'll print it out and take it
to Mark.

Please feel free to send messages to Mark and Ruth!  I am sure both of them would
find that very supportive and helpful.  This is a hard time for both of them. 
Tastefully humorous is all right, I guess.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

best. Your friend Ron."
