I hope the admins will allow this as it is related to one of our own. This
community with all of its good bad and ugly is still a family and when family
is in trouble…well, we rally to help.
Please see an e-mail from Shane Blodgett’s wife below. This broke my heart
after I learned of this yesterday. When this e-mail first came into my inbox, I
thought it was spam but then I made some inquiries and realized the sobering
truth.
Please share wherever you could.
