Help Rod Meet Jerry

My name is Rod Norwood, I live in Memphis. I am a 71 year old cancer patient. My dream is to meet Jerry Miller, lead guitarist for Moby Grape. He lives in Seattle and is offering Guitar lessons. To meet Jerry and have a guitar lesson is beyond my wildest dreams. I'm broke, but I'm keen to do this. I am able to travel now, maybe in 6 months so, time is a bit of a factor. I'll have my friend Steve Selvidge who'll take care of me. This means so much, I've loved him since I was 14. He is my hero. Any help would be appreciated
