I have written to Raymond Franz by email to thank him in the past. He replied with a lenghty letter. I have also recently sent him some information that I thought he would want to know, again he replied with a lengthy email.
What I received in the letters were some of the most inspiring and pertinent information I have personally received, and really encouraged moving on with a sucessful life rather than dwell in the bitter past.
His wife has not been very well recently. He has friends all over the globe and still travels to meet with and help people.
