Thank you Martha, Betty, Kathi, Barbara, Chuck, and Highland classmates for your kind comments. Martha your comment about being “speechless” brought a huge smile to my face. I did go through a unique life changing experience that definitely emphasized the importance at our age, even with the pandemic, of not allowing time to pass without seeking medical help. It is also so important to get vaccinated and wear those masks for the protection of others.
I am happy to report that I have completely recovered and have resumed all my normal retirement activities including visits with my sons and grandchildren, fishing, daily walks through our neighborhood with my wife, yard work (not my favorite thing) and hosting my radio show.
My hat is off to physicians Steve, Jim, and others from our class that are health care workers, first responders, teachers, and all those that have helped others both during the pandemic and everyday often while risking their own lives. This incidence brought to me great appreciation for the important work they do in saving lives through their expertise. I especially recognize the fact that acquiring this knowledge was greatly helped by the excellent background provided by our Highland education.
I love hearing about the lunches. It is a great thing you are doing. I will keep in mind the possibility of attending one in the future but I no longer have family living in Albuquerque and it may not happen. In any event I cherish memories of my life in Albuquerque and I am grateful for Neal’s site that allows us to stay connected.

. Glad you are enjoying your retirement and hope Tooey is keeping you busy with some of those projects. Maybe we will be able to have lunches again soon and we all can catch up with each other. I have both of my vaccines and ready to go. Best to both of you.
