As many of you know my oldest brother Jay has written many wonderful article on NC pottery.
He is a lawyer by trade, a potter for fun, a fisherman and a person who enjoys life and all it has to offer.
Jay has been battling cancer for awhile now.
Through all of the ups and downs - the good days and the bad he has continued to be a husband, son, father and brother. He has called me often, emailed me and we have enjoyed many conversations on growing up together and our times on the farm. Our interest in NC pottery gave us another bond and many good hours of conversation.
Jay was taken to the hospital over the weekend.
Things are not going as well as we all wanted.
So, if you have some time send some good thoughts and wishes.
Better yet post him a note if you have enjoyed his articles and let him know.
He would enjoy hearing from you .
