Don:

I can't tell you how sad this news makes me. I never got to make a single jam in Shreveport but wanted to be there so badly. Joe Lee's photos helped me understand what I had missed... and enjoy vicariously the many folks I had wanted to meet and greet, you included my friend. My prayers for Joe are "on their way" and if you do get to see him give him our best. Drive carefully and let us know how it went if you are able to see him.

All the best,

Dave Rice
