It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.  I hope this note finds you well.  I have not been able to attend your meetings of late.  However, I have enjoyed them in the past and always learned something very cool!

I received your email this past Wednesday & I viewed your video from sometime in the fall.  I cannot even begin to tell you how heart-wrenching it was for me to hear you explain what has happened throughout your ordeal with the BCSC.  It is so sad for me to hear and when you spoke of your son and your mom I just lost it.  My heart just went out to you.  I really am so proud of you in standing up and being so willing to give full disclosure about it all – including the personal things.  I know the members who have stuck by you all this time really must have appreciated and further admired you for it.  I was there with you in spirit, as I had seen or heard things along the way, but knew from my past interaction with you that there was more to the story than we knew 

I know how hard you have strived to make this club the greatest thing ever and I’m honoured to know you even within the context of such a miserable situation.  I DO know that you are tough and I do agree with your belief in NEVER NEVER NEVER Give Up so I know that one day you will recover in all ways.  No matter what the judge says, regarding these financial ‘affairs’, you have many friends and family who will always stand by you and in the end – that is what is most important.

God will bring you through this and the members will hold your post for you while you have to take a step back.  I’m sure Steve Hawks will help you in all ways, as well.  Just take deep breaths and know – this is all for some purpose.  You show people what honour and integrity look like – no matter what.  

I do hope I will see you again one day and that I will have the ability to participate in one of your great investments.  I’ve always been a good judge of character and I absolutely would trust you with my money.  Now I just need enough to let you try!   I’m actually getting pretty close.  Things are definitely improving.

Until then my thoughts are with you, Celeste and the family.

I wish you the best Mike ……
