@ponygirl-
Unfortunately, Blue Jay and I have a strong feeling Joe JSC past away. I reached out to him many times. No response! : (.
As far as, SAM the last I communicated with him was at Christmastime. It's been an emotional time for him, and his family, as his son's family lost their entire home to Hurricane Ian's severe weather..
May GOD have mercy!
P S. I asked SAM if it was OK to share this news. He said only if others cared enough to ask. Thank you for caring ponygirl. ((Hugs))
