Hello all -
I received an e-mail from Jeff Stuyvesant with a request for help. Here is his request - __________________________________________
I know its been a while since we've talked... I hoping that you can help me...and some others. You see, Sue started a few quilts that are waiting to be finished (some have the whole top done). I'd like to see these quilts finished and donated to Project Linus (sp?). I'd also like to have them done by somebody local so I could meet the person who does the work and to see the finished quilt. Is there someone you know of who could help me? Thanks, Jeff Stuyvesant P.S. I'll be closing the old AOL account tomorrow. This e-mail is from my new e-mail account and new e-mail address.
__________________________
In another e-mail he added:
Sue, I so glad that you replied and are interested. I do feel that the quilts that Sue started should be finished. I know that she would want them to go to Project Linus... It is perfectly fine to write to me directly at this e-mail address - as long as they don't sell my e-mail address to someone...Ha Ha... Michelle is doing well. She has been in the hospital only once this year (knocking on wood here...) and that was for a variety of infections and fever (ear & UTI + doc wanted to check out her "swollen" leg). She has had several respiratory infections / problems but the care facility has been able to keep it "in control" and keeping her out. Compare this to going to the hospital 10 times last year. I can only hope things keep going well.

If you live in/near Southern California , want to help and can help, please let Jeff or myself know. This is an amazing thing to do - for Sue, and for Jeff!! He would really like to be able to see the work as it is being done, so someone local is the request (or I'd be doing it in a heartbeat...forget the lack of time!!!) I don't know how many quilts there are to complete. His new e-mail address is jeff.stuyvesant@sbcglobal dot net
For anyone not familiar with Sue (MeSue) please refer to this:
I didn't know MeSue very well, and I'm pretty sure the only reason Jeff contacted me is because of the batch of ornaments that I sent from RCTQ from the ornament swap that year...due to someone dropping out at the last moment. He had my e-mail from that and had just recently uncovered it and was able to thank me/us for the gesture. So, sometimes there's a reason that people drop out of swaps at the last moment that actually have nothing to do with that person. Sue's spirit is still here with us on RCTQ and she fills it with love, strength and guidance at every moment that any of us needs it - whether we're reading, or posting, or unable to be linked for lengths of time. There is a little of MeSue in all of us.
