Bill,
Sometimes adversity helps a guy focus on the few really important things, the ones that really matter. You have my prayers too, but you also have my heartfelt encouragement to seek clarity and find the resolve that will let you face your problems unafraid. Old age, physical infirmities, these are unpleasant; don't let them obscure the certainty that out here is quite a sizeable community of well-wishers, among whom you have a good name! How many men can really say that? As Solomon observed, "A good name is more to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold." Take comfort in your achievement, please let us know how things are going and Bill, Courage!
Respectfully,
Stephen
