>Hello everyone, I need your help.
>As I am sure you already know, Our friend and fellow TIGER buddy, Dale A.
(I

>Has fallen on some hard medical times, he has endured more than one person
>should have to, not only with his cholitis, but also a cyst on his lower
>spine, he was treated with to high of dosage of prednisone, resulting in
>bone reproduction ending, and having to have a right hip replacement, he
now
>has to have the other one replaced.
>He has lost over 45 pounds already, and is not doing well at all, I spoke
to
>his sweetheart of a wife Dianne a while ago, and he is back in the hospital
>again, she is devastated, to say the least.
>I also spoke to Dale, and his spirits are also way down, he is depressed
>(and who wouldn't be)
>
>My point here, is that I know what it fells like to be down, as I was for
>almost 1 year after my accident, and nothing as serious as Dale's dilemma.
>I know how I appreciated all of your well wishes and visits, so here is
what
>I have in mind.

>I am proposing to host a SWAPMEET here at my home, food and drinks will be

>And as Dale is a proud man, I am not trying to embarrass him here, what I
>want to do is to give him and his WONDERFUL family some help.
>I would like to GIVE Dale and family a % of all the sales, as you all feel
>would be appropriate, I will personally give 100% of what I sell to him, as
>he is "ONE IN A MILLION", he has been there for me, and I will be there for
>him now.

>I need some FEEDBACK on any volunteers out there, Jeff Cushing of Tiger
