[JPL] George Cables needs your help!

[JazzCorner at aol.com]

I am only attaching the original message as a way to clarify.  I know Dr. 
Jazz was just "paying it forward" in sending the original email, and while well 
intentioned --- much of the information is incorrect.  George will not be 
homeless EVER,  however, he will have unbelievable bills. but we are working behind 
the scenes to have much of that taken care of. 

Indeed George has given is ok to Jessica Felix for a benefit on the west 
coast, but Jessica wants to have everything together before she announces it.  

We are setting up a pay pal account on George's website
http://georgecables.com - all donations and contributions should go there, 
and I will let you all know when it's ready.  

BTW,  George is doing incredibly well and sounds great.  Please do send cards 
and notes either to george at georgecables.com or to this address:

George Cables
218-23 130TH AVE.
Laurelton, NY 11413

Please only give out his email to your listeners.  We are not even posting 
his address on his website.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me off the 
board.
