Hello everyone:

Rob, thanks for posting Marnie's note. She called me to say she had tried to send it to the list but she didn't know if it would work. Obviously not from her address. She asked me to apologize on her behalf for not letting us know sooner. She said that the stroke hasn't affected Doug's speech or his physique and you wouldn't know looking at him that anything had happened. Apparently, the stroke was centred in the Thalamus gland which explains the memory loss. Doug is in Connell 369 and Marnie said he can have visitors. She said he can no longer live on his own so is on the waiting list for a nursing home bed. He'll stay at KGH until one is available, which based on my own experience with my Mom, could be awhile. Let's hope not for his sake.

Dave, Doug's grandson, Marnie's son, Shane, is licensed. His call is VE3UYH but I don't think he's active.

Cheers & 73,

Steve VE3KC
