All, I received a phone call earlier today from Jacques wife Susan. Jacques has taken a terrible fall and is now in the hospital emergency room awaiting a MRI on his leg. It sounds quite serious and I will update you as I get news on how he is doing. Jeff

If you can, let me (us) know what hospital he's in.
