Re: Ric at PMD
I talked to Ric today. He is back in business but not at full speed yet. It was good to hear his voice again. I wish him the best on his recovery.

Re: Ric at PMD
I just talked to Ric last week. (I ordered a Carson drop deck). He is a **** of a nice guy. What terrible luck he is having. I hope he pulls through. He will be in my prayers for sure.
