Bob,

The cause of death has been incorrectly reported. Hank actually died of choking on a fish bone. (More false news emanating from the Russians. Gospodsi Gospodsi Pomolimsya. Gospodsi Gosposi pomiluy nas.)

Alas, the physician could not cure himself.

We're off to Berlin (Germany) tomorrow for a Family Christmas Reunion. (Yes, I know there's a movie like that.) My new winter lederhosen just arrived from Amazon.ca.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.  Cheers, Walter

P.S. Sign recently seen on the front lawn of a house in Vancouver:

US doctor Henry Heimlich, who invented the manoeuvre used to help
victims of choking, has died aged 96.

Dr Heimlich died at a hospital in the US city of Cincinnati early on
Saturday following complications from a heart attack he suffered on
Monday, his family says.

Dr Heimlich invented the lifesaving technique, which uses abdominal
thrusts to clear a person's airway, in 1974.

In May he used the technique himself [1] to save a woman at his
retirement home.
