I'm sure by now everyone has heard some part of the story of the son who wrote the letter about his ill father...I was at a few shows this tour and have "ok" pictures of Eddie with the shoe that the letter was passed onto stage in at Buffalo and a shot of the father and son hugging under the spotlight at MSG when Eddie finishes introducing them....basically from MSG I learn their names are Jack and James...but I was wondering if anyone happened to know any more? I would really like them to see the pictures...it was a really moving moment and I'm glad i was able to capture it..just hoping to be able to get these pictures to them..if anyone has any info or could even send them this post i would really appreciate it.

Peace and Love

    I'm just thrilled that you were able to see the picture and amazed at how quickly this worked out! technology is amazing sometimes. i had been meaning to do something like this for awhile but never got around to it. I'm glad you and your father have been able to go through this great experience together and I hope that things continue to stay positive for you. I have a few more pics of you two but that was the only clear one...my digital camera is kinda cheap but I am really pleased I was able to capture the image I got and that you two can enjoy it. thanks again for everything

    I got a few pics here too. Not as good as your angle, and blocked by the crowd, but a little closer.
