For those who know my bee partner, Wayne Rich.
He had a severe heart attack Sat. afternoon and hasn't regained consciousness as of this morning. He is at Moses Cone hospital in greensboro.
He is in room 2902, if you want to send a card. No visitors as of this time.
I will keep you posted as things change.
