He was transported to Boston for treatment of severe burns to the upper portion of his body. It sounds quite serious and I hope to have more details soon.<br><br>I'm asking that you all keep our friend 'Bernie' in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. <em>Ray 'B'</em><br><hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"></div></body></html>
