Friends -

Jay Ryan, a good friend of many of us, confided in me the other night that he's been working through some difficult health issues. While I do not want to alarm anyone that this is something terminal (it's sure not), he's been working through these issues in near silence. I think that I was able to provide an almost anonymous confidence to him when I saw him the other night. But (and I feel I must do this Jay), I would like for us to reach out to Jay and let him know that we're pulling for him.

Jay - you can share how things are going when your ready. In the meantime, I'd encourage everyone to post an inspirational picture here. Jay's graphics have given us so much pleasure. Maybe you can share a picture with Jay and the rest of us saying - "Thanks Jay, and I hope you'll be feeling better soon."

Hang in there,

= Justin

Um, he confided in you, and then you post, on a more or less public forum, that he has difficult health issues?

I'm sure you mean well, but do you really think that was a good idea?

If he asked for you to spread the word, well, then, ok.

I hope your friend gets well.

This is pretty strange.

Jay looked very thin in Madison, but I thought it was the pilates.

If this is not a joke, my heart and hopes are with you and your family, Jay. GET WELL. That sounds trite, but trust me, it ain't.

I hope this is some sort of inside joke.

If it was an inside joke, I obviously wouldn't be able to say "this is an inside joke".

But I'd probably post a picture of something like:



Anyway, I hope Jay gets piles of responses.

You should have posted his phone number, too. Then I would have got it.

I will rest easily!

Ike

Im guessing that it isnt a joke, and that his friend probably shouldnt have spilled the beans but its too late for that now.

Jay - I hope you feel better. If theres anything the PRF can do for you, let us know.
