Special Thanks to John LaBarbera for His Generous Offer

[Leslie Judson Jones]

I’m not sure if all you guys know the situation with Judson in the past 3 months. My Dad has been diagnosed with cancer in his esophagus. He is presently towards the end of his chemo and radiation treatment and this situation with my Dad, Judson has come about several weeks before the Connection show.

I never made a firm commitment to display our equipment at Connections because of the uncertainty of my Dad’s health. John LaBarbera had offered to let me share one of his booths if I decided to be at Connections on a spur-of-the moment notice. I have canceled all plans to be at Connections and am planning on flying to Florida with my uncle to see my Dad on Wednesday. I just wanted to give special thanks to John for his offer.

I also want to apologize for not being there for the people that had planned on meeting me to discuss the C-4 promotion that we now have going. I will contact those of you who have shown interest when I return from Florida.

Les,

Please give your dad my best regards.

Talking with him at Mike6Fest was the highlight of my visit to Nashville in February.

He is one interesting fellow with much to talk about.

Take care and enjoy, Wish I could spend a few days with my old man...Sorry I didn't take the time....
