I'm still flabber-f-n-gasted over all of this. Imagine replacing a heart valve in a body and a week later walking out of the hospital!! I remember when I was a lad about twelve years old our neighbor, a nice man that took time to talk to us kids and help us with various projects and problems, developed a heart problem like 'Spaw and his quality of life (and length of life) were drastically reduced. He couldn't do anything but sit around the house even though he would have liked to have gotten out and done things. I got in trouble once for going over to show him a box I had built from scrap wood using some techniques he had taught me. His wife hollered at me that I should know better than to disturb him. He was only 62 when he passed away, and I know that if some of todays medicine was available he would have probably survived much longer. That was in 1961, forty years ago. My how times have changed!!!!

Way to go 'Spaw...get the hell outta there soon. The staff at the NYCFTS all miss you and look for your quick return!
