July 15th - From a contact at First Christian Church - Harold is not doing well at the moment.  He is back on a respirator and is having problems with the bed sores again.  Also, his mother has had to go back to Ohio indefinitely.  The optimism that has been carrying him along seems to have melted away leaving him feeling very low.  Any of you that know Harold, he could certainly use cards, letters, e-mails or visits if possible.  I plan to e-mail him through the Harold’s Butterflies site.  The address for the VA hospital is 13000 Bruce B Downs Blvd., Tampa, FL, but I don’t have his current room number.  You could get this by phoning the facility.  I hope everybody will try to do something to lift his spirits.  He is really needing that now.

Donations towards Harold's medical expenses can be made to:
