As some may be aware I was scheduled to take the week long class at arrowmont next week with Alan Lacer. My wife's health and medical conditions require me to be with her so I am having to forfeit my seat in the class. This is an opportunity for someone to take my place. I'm not asking for any monies for this. The majority of the cost I've already paid so if you want to take my seat contact me so we can caontact Arrowmont and get your name in my place. I think there is a balance of like 150.00 or less. This is short notice but I just can't leave with my wife in the condition she is even though she has told me to go on. Sign in is Sunday evening. I had a room with Chris Barton so you would have to work this out with him or find other arrangements. I hope someone jumps on this opportunity. Contact me here, by PM, or by email at philatelist@earthlink.net

Thanks guys, really.
She's only 40 and has taken a downward spiral in the past few months. Lot's of Chronic pain as the docs are referring to it brought on my other conditions. I have faith it'll work out. She's not in any life threatening condition but it has disabled her. Plus the mental strain it has put on her.
