Title: Friend in need
Post by: sparks1 on June 08, 2014, 01:36:44 PM
Friends:  As you know Janl Cooper has had some setbacks this past year. Back surgery, bone eating bacteria from the surgery has wreaked havoc on her back and this past Fri. has a chainsaw incident that almost cost her three fingers and a thumb.

Cooper has an orchard and property that needs some work and maintenance, and is unable to perform. I am going down the weekend of June 21st to lend whatever assistance this DOM can. Putting up wood, mowing, etc.

Can we all rally around her in this time and show support.  Contact me....sparks1775@gmail.com for location and if you can help. It's but a 4 hr. drive for me. Maybe a good time to reinforce old friendships, make new ones, etc.

Thanks
Ron ( Sparks1)

I'm close by and will be there if nothing comes up.  Let us know if you would like us to bring any tools.   where, when, what?

If you need an address READ my original post....I WILL NOT disclose personal information on a public forum.

It would be nice to have a headcount though....I am planning on bringing some burgers, etc. for a lunch. Water and beverages are on you. It sounds like the jet stream will be lifting into Canada, so expect typical summer temps. (Hydrate)

Just talked to Coop....she welcomes the company and help. says that rifle skills can be honed at her range. So throw in some ammo and a rifle. Tools are pretty much covered for any work we need to do.

Many hands make merry work.  :)

Can you say what town this is near so that I have some idea of where this person lives?

No "details"  but it should be OK to say South East Minnesota, email Sparks if you can help.
