The Academy

is may 7.  I am currently in the hospital, the diagnosis is possible cancer.

I do not have the strength to teach the classes.

Right now, the classes are to be canceled.

The area is the new Greater tampa bay area council.

Can't promise, but let me check

We have a club meeting tomorrow night (West Pasco in New Port Richey) and I'll bring this up.. We have worked with the scouts in the past so we do have some experience.  Could you give me some details?  Like where are the classes to be taught, is there a class itinerary already set up, that sort of thing.  PM me if needed.

Follow-up

For those who may be wondering, we seem to be well on the way to helping James out with the Boy Scout Merit Badge Academy railroad merit badge.  I spoke with him today, and he sounded in good spirits but it does appear he has a hill to climb, so I'm praying for the best for him.  It turns out he and I have a pretty deep involvement with the Illinois Central, he having the early version City of Miami and me with orange yellow and brown configuration of the same train.  And, thanks Joe Fugate for helping connect all this.  Proves MRH reaches out and touches folks in many different ways!
