[AMRadio] Brian Carling (AF4K Crystals) Web Site News

[Gary Blau]

Oh no.  Awful news.  Brian’s a great guy, I hope he’s able to recover in
some way.

I just ordered from him last week before I heard all this.  I guess that’s
probably lost in the turmoil, not that that’s important.

I wish Brian and Marie the best and hope things work out the best way
possible for them.

God bless.
