1. Here is a note Dennis wrote to all those who contributed to help with his expenses:
   

Hello,

Thanks for your thoughts and generosity. It means so much knowing that so many out there care enough to pitch in this way, all inspired somehow by music. Which of course I miss terribly and hope to get back to as soon as possible. 

Again, I can't properly express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness. 

Love, 

Dennis
