Added note at the beginning: there were originally two threads started to and about John, one started by me, one by Leslie (lnicoll). On May 6th, 2006, Leslie and I merged our threads to make this one. All the original posts are here, in chronological order. Clarissa
Our dear friend John (jmmgallagher) in New York City, wrote to me today. He asked me to say hello to you all, and to let you know that he had a stroke on Sunday, and is having difficulty with talking and writing. He said using the keyboard to write to me was hard. I am starting this thread so that people who would like to can write caring messages to John here. I think he would appreciate simple and short messages right now.
