I received this wonderful message from Angelee Deodhar:

Dear Curtis,

Here's wishing you,your dear family and the readers of Tobacco Road a very Happy Easter. May you have a wonderful day.

You will be happy to know that my husband,Shridhar, is much better now and able to walk with the help of a walker. He is also able to examine his patients.We are very grateful to all our friends worldwide who have been keeping him in their prayers.

With lots of love,
