Hello everyone. I was planning to tell you this in person but I won’t be seeing you until after the season ends. I have a cancer situation going on in my bladder. Had surgery yesterday to remove a tumour that (unbeknownst to me) has been growing merrily away for a few years. Follow up treatment will involve chemo and/or radiation. I hope to be in recovery mode in September, so I’ll see you then. Meanwhile, for the next 2 weeks, I’ll be home with my catheter bags. If a miracle happens, I may get to your concert on June 4. Best Wishes for a great show! I am still pretty ill. Writing this from the VG, although I’ll be discharged today. Mark
