My wife has been in a coma in critical care since early December in london England. Each day the specialist would meet with us and tell us that there was little hope of her survival. On December 17 she came out of the coma, without going into too much detail, she was over here on vacation got a flu bug she couldn't shake which turned into a major infection which went to to the brain and she ended up with meningitis. She still has a long way to go for recovery, and wont be released probably for three to four months but she is doing ok. Many thanks to all of you for your support and prayers it is truly appreciated.We have so much to be grateful for, this truly will be a wonderful xmas for us.

On a NOT note I just listened to the inteview with Parisotto and Hamilton, I said to my son, if they had been heading the original team instead of Richard we wouldn't have bought in. Parisotto was stiff and sounded like he was reading from a script, at least Hamilton gave the impression that he knew something about the properties. On Windfall I cannot believe that they have mothballed this, Richard and John were so excited about this property and were convinced they were on the cusp of a truly major find. Unless I'm missing something in their answers they appear to be discounting this valuable property.

I still believe that these guys will do whatever it takes to line their own pockets and in so doing we will see some spill over reward for holding. Lets hope that the new year will bring all of us the riches that we know is there.

I still wont be communicating very often as my time will be spent with my wife assisting her in her rehab but I will read each post when I get time. Once again to all of you many thanks, god bless you and have a great xmas.

Joe
