A reminder:

Chuck Hadd, the editor and publisher of the original AZ4NORML newsletter, The Homegrown Update, suffered from a severe stroke on December 15th and is in stable condition, now in a Banner Health Rehabilitation center in PHX. Currently partially paralyzed on his left side, Chuck Hadd has recovered nicely so far, and gaining strength in his large muscles in his arm and leg. Lifelong warrior that he is, Chuck vows to return to active duty in fighting the war on the war on drugs. In the meantime we have his collected works to remind us of his efforts.
