I was very sad to hear this news.

having had the same surgery i felt a certain kinship with hal and really was looking forward to discussing it with him.

though not a close friend i always enjoyed his company while we worked at the beacon and the many lunches at the printer's club.

just saw him and linda and pat and dick latshaw for dinner last winter while in garden city beach. we had a wonderful, fun dinner. i'd forgotten how funny and fun hal was to be with.

I was truly blessed to have lived through such a treacherous surgery.

We'll be praying for Hal and Linda and their family.
