As the sun is out and the spring birds sing today in Brasstown, NC the JCCFS campus feels a little heavier than it did just a few days ago. We received some terrible news that Tim Ryan famed auctioneer, teller of tall tales, scrabble extraordinaire, blacksmith, bonsai instructor, landscaper and campus staple has been admitted to Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC with serious health complications that are not looking good. Please keep Tim and his family in your prayers.
