James Walton says Hello

James sent the following message via the contact page:
"Missed the Banquet--SO SORRY. Have some complications here at home with Carol. She has AL, and she can't remember things very long. After eating so well all these years with Carol's cooking, I am now the chief cook. Fortunately my Mom had me get familiar with some meal preparation when I was younger. Other than that, things are going well.

Hope everyone is doing OK."
Thank you James for taking good care of your bride. Please let us know if we can help in any way.
