Tim... Thanks more than you'll know for your offer, but it's not
necessary. Rachel and I want to do this for Jill if she's able, and I
thought it would be great if there was someone in Montana with a ROFF
connection who would be interested in doing the float. I know they
would enjoy Jill's company and I would feel comfortable that she was in
experienced and caring company.

Jeff (and, yeah, it sucks big time... just a few months ago, she and i
were talking of how lucky we were to be able to visit and enjoy hiking
in Montana)

OK, here's the deal... I have a friend, Jill, who worked as a judge's
administrator in the local courthouse. she is about 35 or so. always
pleasant, cheerful, easy-going, and liked by everyone who knows her. One
month ago, she was diagnosed with lou gehrig's disease (ALS) and has had
to quit work. She has about a year or so to live at best.


God, I hate hearing this stuff. 35 is way too young - many things left to do.

Good luck with your plan, Jeff. When the time comes, I'm up for putting in a
little cash to help offset expenses. Hell, roses for Heidi, although a very good
cause, pales in comparison.
