Bill, I wanted to let you know that Jack Fox is deteriorating secondary to advanced heart disease. He signed on to Hospice today. He is alert, in no pain, very thin and extremely weak but still in command of all faculties. Something about those submariners - they can hang in through thick and thin. Best regards to all who get to Branson. Jack is so regretful that he will not make it. Drinks his morning coffee from his Raton reunion mug each morning.
