Dear Mr. Duval,

             My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time in your life. You were of great personal help to me recently as you helped me get started with the MDLM training program and the seven circles.  Since that time my chess has improved a great deal and it is much more fun to sit across the board and win a few games.  Keep strong!!!

                                               Sincerely,

                                               Vince L. (Barrens)

Best of luck Blunderprone. I hope everything goes well. As for us, don't worry, we will all be waiting your return to support you.....whenever that is.

I hope everything goes well, and we see you return eventually.

@TheOnionKnight: incidentally I have been distracting myself with all 4 books of the George RR Martin series.   Flea Bottom, USA... nice touch... brought a smile to me. Thanks.

Yes, good luck and best skill with personal affaires. Will miss your posts

Good luck and best wishes for a good outcome.
