Many of you know my dad as 'Natural State' and have become good friends and important to him, just as this site has. I regret to tell you that he had to breakdown which caused him to have actions he will regret forever. He is now incarcerated and will be for quite some time. He has asked that his jar of life be removed in hopes that his name will not tarnish this community that he loves so dearly. If you want to write to him, he can be reached at the Allen County Jail, 417 .S Calhoun St. Ft. Wayne, IN 46802. He wants to extend his apologies to anyone he may have hurt, and prays you all have safe travels and good numbers.

So sorry to hear this, we, the S.L.U.T.s , will be praying for him. Tell him we will be waiting for him right here when ever he gets things straightened out.

Can you PM me his real name and inmate number so I can write him.

He was the first Vanner I ever met in person, and he gave me a set of Captain's chairs from his van, refusing any form of payment - so generous! I dearly wish him the best; please let him know he's well thought of!

Very sad news. I met him at last year's Nats, enjoyed chatting with him during the public show & shine. Please pass along my best wishes!
