Pete:

It really does make such a huge difference having an extended family. Just knowing you have people out there who really do care is a nice feeling. Thats what I love about OCF, its even better than family cuz we are all in the same club and truly understand.

Someday I hope you have the opportunity to meet some OCF members in person. Ive had the pleasure of meeting several members and am very proud to say they are my friends.

Hope you feel alittle better everyday.
