I was worried about John, so I contacted his son. I asked him to tell John that he is both loved and missed.
....and to also let me know he was alright.
His reply to me is copied and pasted exactly as he wrote it to me.
Please join me in sending all prayers, good vibes, healing powers, and positive energy John's way....
Hi Marla
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner I'm never on.
It's nice to know he's loved and missed but I have some bad news . He was taken into hospital as his condition is steadily deteriorating and we are not sure when he will get out if he does at all . I'll pass on the love and best wishes from you guys and keep posted
All the best
David

...John is a proud man, and one(from chatting with him privately)that did not care for the extent of his condition to be made "public" on the board-for the simple fact he didn't wish for all of us to grieve and worry...he, I believe, would want us to simply draw together as the Ka-Tet that we are-and keep the faith....that way, on the day that our beloved Scotsman reaches his clearing-he will do so, borne up by the love of this "Fellowship of the Board"....for those not aware of John's situation-it is a condition beyond the current power of the healing arts...not being brutal, just honest...and our best prayer is that he go knowing of our affection and love for a man who has become a mentor and very dear to many of us....I am honored by being his friend, John-I love you....simple as that...nothing more need said old hoss.....
