I just got an email this morning from OssJughead's wife. It appears he had a stroke this past summer which is why he's been completely out of communication with everyone. He is finally back home but he doesn't remember very much at all. I just thought I would give everyone a heads up.

In Jim's Corner
Jim is a big strong country boy with a really dedicated and determined wife and a daughter that idolizes him, backing him up.
He also has some quality, long time friends close by and some newer friends a little further away.
He has a lot of things in his favor. I'm confident that if anybody can come out on top of this, he will.

Juggy update
I got a nice email from Jim's wife this morning. Jim is pretty much house bound right now and has some continuing health issues to deal with. However he is like a bear in a cage which is probably a good thing as that would be the Juggy that I know.
I am going to try and head up to see him next week if possible.
Overall I would say this is some good news about a bad situation. While there are some concerns I do believe things looking better.
Respecting the families privacy first, I will update you as I can. They do appreciate all our well wishes and prayers.
Thx RickI May Be Crazy, But I Have A Good Time.

Please Get Well Jim..We Miss you!
I have met Jim ...stayed in his home twice...met his wife Lori too. They are the most hospitable people you'd ever want to meet...Jim reconditioned my XJ last year.He did a great job. It was meticulous work and a labor of love. When Jim just dissappeared from the view..I coulld not understand or explain why. All I knew was that a great friend was lost. And that made me really sad. There were a few things that happened with people and meetings that left some rather upset with him.For inexplicable reasons but it would appear these were all health related issues. Because if you have ever met Jim is to love him...he is a warm individual with a great big heart. My thoughts and prayers are out to him and Lori and the rest of his family too.1980 XS650G Special-Two

There are amazing discoveries about how the brain adapts and heals itself all the time. There is a lot of hope.
He and his family will be in our prayers. Get well soon.
