Damn, damn, damn. This was one of multiple reasons why I was hoping he could get out of that place. Maybe we can hope that the hospital is better than where he’s been? And thanks for update. Does seem encouraging so far; especially if they’ll get his communications to him. ---

It looks like he won’t have his lap top til Saturday. The COVID unit he’s in is at the facility he’s in. Not the hospital. I was really hoping he was out of that place for awhile. I havn’t had an email this evening, yet. I’ll report when I get one. ---

This would have been at least 10 years ago, and he was in his mid-to-late 50’s or early 60’s then. Hell of a nice guy. And funny. He better pull through. ---
