Thanks for the update.

I just got a chance to pop up here and saw this.

John Walters (the FF who is Critical) is one of my best friends, and actually the person who convinced me to buy into DVC. John bought into DVC around the beginning and owns at Old Key West. I bought into Boardwalk back in '99 after us always using up all his points on trips down there with friends ;-)

John is a HUGE Disney fan; (has the sorcerer mickey tattoo to prove it). You name a fact about WDW or DCL, and Johnny knows the answer.

Keep him in your prayers. The news media is underplaying the extent of his injuries, he's not out of the woods by a longshot.
