Hi Ken Wow! For all the years we've been friends, I continue to be amazed and really proud of you and what you are doing. I know you have been going through hard times for several years, and getting to the treatment you need is difficult from where you are living. I admire your courage and strength of character! Thank you for standing up for those who can't, for speaking out when others are silent, and for educating the public on the need for self-protection and awareness. I wish you all the best and offer my strength for you to draw on whenever you need it. You might be in a small, sheltered town, but you are never alone. Love, John

John Robles along with everyone else, I don't think I said anything about it but I just returned from a 4 day visit to Washington DC, I attended the Internation AIDS Conference held every four years, where the AIDS Heath Care Foundation (AHF) paid for my travel, hotel stay, food and driver sence with my Avascular Necrosis would not beable to do all the walking that it would take if I was on foot and I am in need of a total left hip replacement. AHF is a interneation Not-For-Profit organization that covers 22 countrys, out of all 22 countries the USA is the only one that has Waiting List for people under insured, low income or without insurance at all. AHF requested me to speak at the conference so I had to prepair a 15 to 20 mintue speach and I address a croud in the conference room at the hotel I was staying in and there was roughly 1800 people that attended that gathering. I love doing things like this, as it gives me something positive to do and hope my efforts help reduce the number of newly infected people each year. The infection rage in the USA is averaged to about 1 person every 16 minutes. That for me and my view is just not acceptable and with all we know about HIV and how it is passed, the newly infected rate with in the USA is not acceptable. 30 years into the crisis and still not all people know how to protect themselves and education is a major part in prevention. I am so happy I was able and asked to do this. This is the first time the conference has been held in the USA. Before Obama lifted the ban on people with HIV/AIDS entering this country the conference has had to be held in other countries. I can honestly say I am very PROUD of what I do and it makes me happy to even know I might prevent even one person from becoming infected. My calling came after I helped one of my best long time friends die and watching this and how long and painful with all the suffering he went through I just knew I had to become involved and do something. I hope that this does not turn anyone off sence I know this is a scary and touchy subject and I have had negitive reactions from people before but I know and have seen how supporting the Phono Collecting community is and I am very thankful for that. I am also thankful that I am able to continue to collect phonographs and graphophones as this has been my 19 year passion and I just love it. Here in the small mile square town that I live in I was really happy to take some of my machines into the middle annd high school and educate and show the kids where there Cd's and other recording medium and where it all started from. I was very hard pressed to find even one kid that ever had seen, heard or every was taught the history of recorded sound. Here's wishing everyone good health and much happiness in the future, Kenneth Keeton PS: If it was not for my computer and android phone I would not have been able to keep up with the messages or post my own here on Phono-L while I was away. I am so thankful for that. ________________________________ From: John Robles <john9...@pacbell.net> To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 7:50 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Looking for a screw for a BK....
