Richard hasn't been able to get to a computer yet, but he was able to see a printout of your messages up to last Tuesday afternoon, and he was touched by them. He expects to be back at work soon and will, I'm sure, see the rest of the messages.

I've been on the phone with him while in Seattle, and talked with him also today when back home.There's been some post-op problems; inflammation and an allegic reaction to medication; not good, but caught in time, so not life-threatening. He's looking forward to getting back to work and getting back to some normalcy in his life. Again, he really appreciated your good wishes.
