Mel from Ware, MA contacted me today and asked me to make a public service announcement (PSA) to let folks know that she's been going through some rough times and hasn't been available since she suffered a loss in June and has been trying a new relationship. As is her policy, she tries not to be available unless she is feeling a hundred percent. She is torn about coming back and misses the great times she had with many of us but has decided to remain incommunicado. Hence, this PSA. As many of you know, she's truly a one in a million gal and is an ATF for many and for a very good reason. Let's wish her well and give her space and time she needs to decide her own future. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mel is a top notch woman. I hope she is doing well.

She is in good spirits ATM. Like everyone, she has good days and bad days.
