Oh, heck. Well, email me a mailing address for you and I'll send you
some comfrey roots anyway. You can pay me back for the postage, if you
want.
The other Tom Stovall is a veterinary farrier (a highly-educated and
highly-skilled horse shoer). He helped me save the life of one of our
horses a few years back when the horse grass foundered, so I owe him,
big-time. That Tom is also a genuine character. He's really good people.
