My brother-in-law, Duff Bement, has been in ICU since last Thursday. At this writing he is in surgery for the 3rd time to repair leakage from the small intestine. Your thoughts and prayers will be welcomed by Duff and his loving family. Duff is the newly elected president of the local woodturning club in Rochester, MN. I visited him in ICU Sunday and Monday. We discussed the latest pictures on SMC. He was quite excited about the new Sorby Spiraling Tool he received and was planning on giving it a go by now. Duff is such a genuine good guy and strong. Fortunately, he is in a very good hospital with the people and equipment to deal with this. Duff has demonstrated the past 5 days just how strong he is. Your thoughts and prayers will be heard. Likewise, your continued thoughts and prayers for others – Jim and Dan. Thank you.
