Dear Capt Barta,
My husband and I just learned of your illness tonight while watching your show. We had caught one of your shows when you went black bear hunting in Alaska and thought you were hilarious. We thoroughly enjoyed that show.
We wish you and your wife the best and hope that God will see fit to heal you, but in the meantime please keep your wonderful outlook and optimistic attitude.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Sandy and JC Stiles, Centreville Virginia
