Hello All:

    I just wanted to give you a personal update on John Burgess.  I was
    very honored to have the pleasure of meeting John in person.  John is
    in good spirits, hobbling around with a broken ankle.  He still can't
    drive, but has a wonderful scooter that allows him mobility to stores
    for small errands. At the time I met John, Jean was still in the
    hospital, and had been for six weeks!  She was planning to come home
    later that week. 

    John is the most energetic older person I have ever met.  His house
    is filled with inventions all over.  He is into woodworking, wood
    carving, spinning, jewelry making, lapidary and chemistry.  Wow. 
    Every drawer, book case, table top, etc., has been made by John. 

    John never stopped smiling, during the entire time and we were given
    the ultimate tour of all of us artistic pursuits. He is warm and is
    a prolific writer and reader. John gave Dave and I a beautiful birch
    bowl which he turned on a lathe, plus a lovely chunk of jade to work
    with in my studio. 

    Thank you John for a lovely visit and for the beautiful gifts which
    I will treasure.
