On behalf of the team at Staging Techniques - Atlanta, my name is Jim.

Our friend and colleague Patrick Parker fell ill this week.  He's not been feeling great recently, but was toughing it out (but you probably guessed that), and finally sought help at the emergency room on Monday.

Well, turns out he had a brain tumor.  He was operated on Wednesday and it all went really well.  But there's the expenses so far, more to come for additional treatment, living expenses while he's layed up.  I'm sure you get the picture.  Thus, this effort to give him a hand.

From the folks who knew him back in the rock and roll days, to those who know him from his work in film, to all of us who get to hang with him today for work and more, we all know he's a great guy who deserves our support.

On behalf of the whole STI team, please accept our sincere thanks for doing what you can.
