On a Personal Note
Four weeks ago, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. I have since fully recovered thanks to a great medical staff and my amazing wife. After spending four days in the hospital and three weeks of getting more sleep than I have since high school, I was more than excited to return to Avalon. I would like to apologize to those of you who may enjoy reading this section of the paper, but were unable to. Also, I would like to thank those of you who kept me in your thoughts and so warmly welcomed me upon my return.
