For Joe

Hey Joe

My wife and a couple friends went to Columbus Saturday night to see George Strait. The one man that went with us used to work for CSX. Don't know how long ago. He's only 28 so probably not that long ago.

We got into a conversation about people taking pics of trains and what he thought about it. He told me that there is a crossover, I take it being around the Dayton OH area, towards Toledo.I am assuming it is in your area. I was told by him that there is a camp somewhere in that area where people stay to photograph trains.

If that is right could you give me a little info. about it? I was just a little curious about it. I saw a show on TV or could have been a video where a group would get together and camp beside the tracks. I didn't know if a lot of people did this or not. Sounded neat to me.

My friend Jeff has gotten a little depressed over the last week. They know for sure that it is cancer. They don't know though if it is malignant or benign. Due to this they are going to have to do surgery to find out. The insurance company will not pay for chemo because it has not been determined if it is malignant or not. Therefore the main reason for the surgery. He told us this afternoon his surgery will probably be within the next two weeks. As I had told you before this surgery is very risky due to a major vein that will be in the way, and also for what has to be done just to get to the tumor. That is all that I know for now. I will get the photos you sent Monday to him on Tuesday.

Take Care
