Kazan,
The above mentioned John was a kiter. When he went missing his loved ones posted on Seabreeze to try to help find him.
There were also follow up posts thanking Seabreeze members for their help & concern.
Hence the posting here is far from random.
Col,
Thanks for posting. A sad story for all concerned.

Hoping that at least some good can come from it......
After reading Julia's letter, my opinion of her has been raised.
