Your piece about heros. I know some, one in particular, who lead many away from disaster and to productive, sober life. If you would like to know his name, ask.

Greetings to you Jack, and to Jonni too. I enjoyed your latest blog entry, and thought that I should reply so that I may wish you both a very Merry Christmas time. It is fast approaching us and I hope you will have your own celebrations of one sort or another to enjoy and share. I look forward to your next news for us, keep writing to us, your fans.

Great blog on the “real heroes,” Jack. Wish we had more college professors like the one you mentioned.
