Hello,

I got home from my Ohio trip. My arms all tired from the flying. Ha ha.

And what do I read?  Dar Aldrich?  In the hospital?  Oh, shoot!!

I have just spoken with President Jim on the telephone. Friday afternoon,
about 3:30 p.m.
And I asked if he would mind for me to post to the list an update for you
all.

It has been confirmed by the doctors that Dar has had a heart attack. She is
stable, comfortable, wired up with the various support things. They had
found that she had 3 arteries that were blocked very significantly. And they
have fixed her up by inserting 2 stints.  She will be there for a few days. 
Jim is there with her and they both are in pretty good spirits. They said
that Dar had not been feeling well for a couple of weeks. And a couple
nights ago she had had enough, and determined that she needed to get in and
see what was what. And sure enough it was pretty darned serious. That is
what.

Thank goodness they have such good cardiac treatment now days. And Billings
is well known for their heart patient care.

So that is waht i know, and I thought I would post to the list.
Wouldn't you know, I did not think to ask for a room number. But I do know
that she is at Deaconness Hospital in Billings.
And Jim has his phone on. Dar has her phone but is pretty much not using it
yet. She has to be pretty much lying down, and keep pretty still.

Hope all is well with all of you. And I know we all will have Dar's speedy
recovery in our minds and hearts. The decision about Florida and the
convention, Jim said is to be considered, and he hopes for them to have been
able to decide if one or both would still go or not. May 28 is the deadline
date for which to get the 50 percent refund on the room deposit.

All for now.
Rik
