From Larry Burruss:
Please keep Janie Burruss and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She found out last Friday that her brother, Johnny Osborn, has been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. Many of the older cooks will remember Johnny from the Chilympiad days. He is an El Jefe in the organization and donated many hours of volunteer time to help in the success of the event. He also was an original member of the three time world championship "Great Southwest Show Team". Johnny has two daughters who work with him in his business ventures in Midland, Texas.
