Due to my father's diagnosis of Signet Ring Adenocarcenoma and his subsequent death on March 8th, all podcasts are postponed until July. I am busy helping my mother on the farm and helping my husband prepare for a kidney transplant. It is my hope I will be able to reschedule every single person listed below, beginning in July. I miss doing the podcasts but literally have no time or energy. See everyone in July!
