Default Ol Ron is OK

Ol Ron is OK. I noticed Ron hadn't posted in awhile so I called him a little ago. He's 91 so he's slowed down a little but his wit and sense of humor are still sharp and he'll be posting again when he gets his computer fixed, Craig.

Thank you for the update on 'Ol Ron. I don't come here that much myself anymore, but when I do I didn't see him posting, so I've been wondering how he was doing, and I'm very happy to hear he is doing well !!

I am the same. Whenever I see one of his posts or comments I always enjoy the comments and observations of a special and unique man.
All the best to Ron for continued good health.
