No new stories will post, no press releases, nothing, for a spell, while NYFights processes the loss experienced by a dear friend today.
His father passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 8, and so that will take precedence over any business, or news.
Please join me, if you wish, in sending kind thoughts to this person experiencing the sting of this absence.
Thank you for your patience, readers.
PEACE,
Michael Woods
