[VFB] Re: Don Ordes

2020-12-23 Thread Gary L Webb 
Very sad news indeed.   A good friend, a great teacher, and undoubtedly a 
creative genius.  At times like this I turn to my faith and to music.
Angelina Jordan's Million Miles seems appropriate.  
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KxvwuZ7oEM=0  She wrote this 
song for her grandpa after he passed away.  "it is also for any one who has 
lost someone they loved." Angelina Jordan

[VFB] Re: Thoughts and prayers wanted/needed

2020-10-30 Thread Gary L Webb 
Chuck, you and your family are in mine.   I'm glad to see your doctor 
doesn't listen to the media about Hydroxychloroquin.  I'm even more glad 
that the treatments appear to be working.  I've been doing the D3, C, Zinc, 
and Curcumin supplements as an immune boosting plan.  Hopefully I won't 
ever need it. Can't forget though that the flu season is upon us.
