was brief. I thought perhaps I should fill in a little more information.<BR>
<BR>
Brett has known he had liver failure for several months. I thought he was <BR>
working on a liver transplant, and he said he had several people who could <BR>
be a match for tissue. Marie called me this morning and said he started <BR>
going down hill rapidly Sunday afternoon, and she thought there had been <BR>
internal bleeding. He died last night about 9:30 p.m.<BR>
<BR>
I talked to Brett Sunday afternoon. He was on medication for a liver <BR>
infection for which he had been hospitalized earlier last week. He didn't <BR>
sound terific, but he certainly did not sound as though he was near death. <BR>
He was on one of his searches for an obscure piece of information for which <BR>
we all remember him so well.<BR>
<BR>
Marie said she will let us know about services, but probably not until the <BR>
end of next week. Their church is the Church of the Bretheren on Cole Road, <BR>
and that will be the location. As we all know Brett was a committed Mason, <BR>
so we can be pretty sure that will be part of the service.<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps I do not need to say that I was shocked at Marie's call this <BR>
morning. We want to offer as much support to her and the girls as possible. <BR>
Mary Ellen and I will do our best to keep in touch and let you all know. <BR>
For those of you who do not remember, Annette and Evelyn are the <BR>
Winchesters' daughters. All four of them worked very hard on our cinnamon <BR>
roll booth as long as we had it. The girls practically lived there during <BR>
the fair. They are wonderful young women now.<BR>
<BR>
Brrett isa past president of the Treasure Valley Chapter, and he worked for <BR>
maybe as much as twenty years for the Commission for the Blind.<BR>
