>>John Thomson from Kansas has been keeping me informed that long time NFB
>>treasurer Richard Edlund has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks.
>>I have also talked with Pela(sp), Dick's significant other. They say he
>>went into ICU with difficulty breathing.  He was put on a ventilator for
>>several days, and has come off of oxygen lately.  He is now on dialysis.
>>He may need some heart-valve repair surgery, which will most likely be
>>outpatient surgery.  He seems to be progressing back to health.  He is,
>>after all, 83 years old now.  I guess he's a little down because of all
>>of this, as we can certainly understand.
>>
>>
>>
>>I'd like to get this message to as many lists as possible.  Dick has
>>been a long time supporter of sheltered shop employees, venders, and
>>worked with all of us in the NFB for years on many significant and
>>valuable issues.  Besides, he's just a great guy all around.  Even
>>before the internet, he was (and still is) one of the best joke tellers
>>ever.

>>John  has asked that we send Dick get well cards.  I know that E-mail is
>>easier, but a well placed print card to his home address would certainly
>>help in this case.  This would show our real support, thoughts and
>>prayers to an important figure in the history of the NFB.
