Bill Mantlo
1995 Miller Place
Merrick, NY 11566

Do you remember Bill Mantlo?? I knew his work from Marvel Comics, and I
always enjoyed it. I am not sure when it happened but Bill suffered a brain
injury many years ago as a result of an accident. He is currently in a
Nursing Home. I read about his situation in a newsgroup a few years ago and
I have sent him a Christmas Card every year.

I received a very touching letter from his father yesterday. It says that
Bill is still in the Nursing Home and that his two brothers Michael and
Arthur and Bill, Sr. (the father) visit him on most weekends. He appreciated
the mail and asked that anyone who remembers Bill Mantlo at all could please
send mail to him. In his condition, Bill responds to having mail read to
him.

I realize that this is Off-Topic, but I hope that you understand. Hopefully
if you can spare two minutes and a stamp you will send a letter or card to
Bill Mantlo. I can imagine how difficult it must be for his family to see
him like that every weekend, when they knew him as a bright creative artist.
The letters & cards make a positive difference, a ray of light.

Thank you for your consideration.
