EDITED TO ADD A MESSAGE FROM RACHEL DEMILLE:

Hi, friends,

Thank you so much for this. Just one thing: I don't mind questions, so please, if you forward this just remove that line. I don't want my dear friends to feel uncomfortable contacting me. =-)

xoxo rd

Dear Friends,

 This is a forwarded message from the TJEd
MUSE list Yahoo group. I am going to echo the suggestion that we all be
sensitive to Dr. DeMille and his family, and that we do not overwhelm
them with questions, e-mails, phone calls, etc. (Maybe sending them a
nice card via snail mail would be appropriate. Their mailing address is
on the Locator at this website.)

The TJEdRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille. We also have an Introduction to Thomas Jefferson Education available elsewhere on this site. Convention at the end of this month is still happening, but
Oliver is being replaced by his wife Rachel, and other great speakers
at GWC.

Here's the forwarded message:

Dear Friends and Associates of the Dr. Oliver DeMille Family:

Recently, Dr. Oliver DeMille's health has deteriorated to a very low
level. As of late July he has canceled all speaking & public
engagements indefinitely as his health makes it impossible for him to
continue his work. His family has asked for your prayers and fasting
for his health and recovery. On Sunday August 10th a fast is being held
for him. We invite you to combine your faith with ours. Please feel
free to pass this email along to whomever you feel appropriate.
Thank you in advance for your prayers, and please don't disturb them with questions...

Friends of the DeMille Family
