Whether or not this is being read by an "old timer" or a newbie all of us know what a stalwart Ron has been to this board. He has always been level headed, calm, and informative. He has been there for those of us who have been mentally or physically down and has rarely fully shared the problems he has had over the years. I know that this may upset some on the board (please note the off topic portion of the subject heading) but I would like to start a prayer circle for Ron. All it would take is that each of us who participates just say a prayer each day for his health and well being. I would be receptive to anyone out there who would like me to include someone close to them in my daily prayers. PTSC has been one of my longest held investments(?) but it is nowhere near as important as the physical and spiritual health that I wish for Ron and all the rest of my friends that I have met through this board. God Bless You all marc
