I would like to thank
the Beach community
for all the help and
support given to me
through my surgery
and healing process.
Especially to the family
that provided me with
meals at Buzzy's Caf6,
and to Scott Trotter at
the Legion Club for all
his help; to Les Barnhart for taking me into his
house and treating me as part of his family; the
Mike Zook family for giving me the opportunity to
help out on the farm until I get back to South Africa.
I am very grateful to everyone in this great
community.
