Hi All

[edric]

Just a short note to let you know I'm still alive. I'm in a wheelchair most of the time. I can't walk too far without something to hold on to as my equilibrium has forsaken me. Some days are better than others but I manage to do quite a bit. I doubt ill be doing much more editing on the encyclopedia of palms. I have a part-time CNA, she's helping me type. I do okay at this function typing that is with her help, but her help is a blessing. It's nice to have a hand. I'll try and send another email if there are any changes in my health.     

                                                                                                                                                                              Sincerely, Ed Vaile

Glad to hear from you again, Ed.  Thank you for all of your work on Palmpedia and for the various Dypsis sp.

Ed, thanks so much for all your work on Palmpedia !

So good to hear you are still with us Ed. It is a helpless feeling these days to have someone you have been in contact with over many years to just drop off the radar. And with no way to check up other than "electronically," there is not much to do but wonder what is going on.

While good to hear from you, of course not happy to hear of your troubles. But Palmpedia is still there for anyone and everyone to enjoy - so take care of yourself and keep in touch.

Hi Ed, thanks so much for your continued efforts at Palmpedia!

Hi Ed, I've worried about you all this time. Glad to see you back and hope you are able to check in with us when you are able. And I add my thanks for all the great work you've done on Palmpedia. I refer to it often.
