[TCML] pole xfmr - Information Unlimted

[Barton B. Anderson]

Hi DC,

Send Bob the TCML support. These things can happen to any of us at any 
stage in our lives. We have no control over what will be. I work in the 
industry of the mobility impaired and design the electronics to ensure 
both safety and functionality for those in wheelchairs.

My heart goes out to Bob. Many of us on the TCML we'll be praying for 
him. Most of the people who are stuck in a wheelchair did not start out 
in the world this way and it is a challenge for them daily. Just let him 
know he's in our prayers.

Thanks,
Bart
