Hey guys, I just heard that my good friend and yours, Brent McElroy was injured when he fell off his roof yesterday sustaining multiple fractures to his leg. I don't have any further information at this time but please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He is the other luthier that has donated a guitar in the APM Katrina fundraiser. He has a big heart and is trully a good guy. He is located in Seatle Washington and many of you met him at ASIA and Healdsburg this last yearJohn How38629.4649652778

I have emailled him to ask just that. I don't know if he is home now or not. Hopefully I will hear from him soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting Brent at the Newport show last year, and I got to hang with him for awhile on the last night at ASIA at the concert. He really is a great guy.
Thanks John, I'll shoot him an email.Don Williams38629.4900231482

Brent, in case you're reading this, heal up quickly!

John thanks for the heads up on Brent. He contributed to some of my more memorable ASIA moments in terms of good laughs. He truly is a great guy and builder. I will send him a get well card. For those of you considering doing same his address is:

Brent McElroy
6750 Murray Ave. SW
Seattle WA 98136

Lance perhaps a lame thought but is there an OLF momento we could send such as an OLF t-shirt. I'd be happy to reimburse for the cost.

     I am glad to hear that his injuries are not more serious. I had my share of injuries. The boredom is the worst part. Lets all send a get well card. Can't cost much and a little kindness goes a long way.
