[nabs-l] Update on Ray McGeorge

[Darian Smith]

I just wanted to say that  while I have   never known Ray on a
personal  level, I have had the fortune of meeting and  speaking to
him a few times.
 I appreciate his strong will and his  willingness to  talk to you on
a personal level.
 I wishHe anDiane as well, as  his  federation family in Colorado the
best wishes love and prayers right now, as he recovers.
  Best wishes,
  Darian Smith
