medical

Hi,

I have received numerous requests from fellow oldtimers concerning the medical status of Association members. Some that I wasn't aware were ill. So, this is an attempt at obtaining an update by contacting everyone on our membership list. I will compile the responses into one email and forward to our membership list.

Please consider that you are informing us SUPRAD types so keep it simple.

Thanks, friends forever

MWO Walsh (RJ) - surgery

Received from Harry Nolan;

For those of you who are not aware, MWO Walsh (RJ) just went through a complete knee replacement operation in Colorado. This was planned for some time now but is the result of the medical problems/condition that he went through this time last year with a serious infection in his leg.I spoke with RJ last night and he is doing very well. He has been released from Hospital and is at home recovering. His spirits are very good, and he stated it would be ok to pass on his phone nr and email address. I encourage you all to send RJ an email or even a phone call. We all know RJ loves to talk and hearing from his friends at this time of year while recovering will only help time pass quickly.
