On March 27th of this year my house burnt to the ground.  My truck was
destroyed except for the frame.  I am going to restore it.  The people on
this list were kind enough to take up a collection and add a gift
certificate to help me start over.  I cried out of gratitude when I got the
letter.

I checked into the hospital on Halloween.  They did a quadruple bypass and
put in a pacemaker in two different operations.  I got home and had to
return to the hospital in a dramatic ambulance ride.  I almost did not make
it back.  The pacemaker was not working properly.  They re-programmed the
device with a computer and spared me yet another operation. I am back home
and dreaming of the day I can start on my truck which is somewhat delayed.

This list has meant so much to me.  I feel lucky to have found this list.
The information and your kind act means a lot to me.

It makes me sad to come home from the hospital and see what is going on with
this list.  I am going to think about it for a few days before I make a
decision to unsubscribe.

In spite of all that has happened this year, I still have a good attitude
and am grateful to be alive.  However it is more important than ever that I
hang out with positive people.  I really just can't stand much negativity.

Please stop this terrible nonsense.  A real old trucker would not act this
way.  Life is about being good to people and helping each other.  I thought
that's what this list was all about.  Please don't turn into something else.
