John Lothian: Nearly Bailed Out, Still Needs Help
John Lothian‘s quest to make bail and get out of Donation Jail with the Muscular Dystrophy Association is coming along nicely, but now it’s the MDA that needs the help. Last week, one of the Donation Wardens told him he’d better start to sing like a canary, and John’s been doing that ever since. Now they can’t get him to quit singing, and they’re pretty tired of the racket.

So if you can spare even a few dollars to help out, it’s super easy to do so, and everyone over at the MDA will be really grateful for a variety of reasons. Just go to the donation page and give a little: jlne.ws/13igGad. It’s a quick way to make a difference.

A big thank-you to all who have contributed so far, including: Bill Boyk, Bruce S., Dorothy Friedman, Doug & Nancy Ashburn, John Knuff (Equinix), Kevin Brennan, Michael Monahan, Steven Poser, and XR Trading.
