Don Lollar sent the following email about his heart surgery, and also this picture of a family gathering with children from our 10th reunion. If anyone wants this photo for reprinting, email me and I'll send you the jpg file. Remember, you can click on the photo to enlarge.
So glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, Don!
shery, i was asked by a couple of folks for the picture i had of the small family gathering with kids at the 10th reunion. i hope it is attached for anyone interested. oh, you will have to rotate it--i'm still learning.
as an addition, the week following the 45th, i began to have more trouble with my breath during walking. i was clear it wasn't the reunion activities creating such a limitation--my aortic valve has been narrowing over the past years. long story short, august 13th had aortic valve replacement. six weeks later i'm recovering rather well. back at work part time, walking 3 miles a day, and believe the worst is over. in comparison with many of our mates, i feel grateful. it's just a structural problem that needed a good plumber/surgeon. done and movin' on. the porcine valve, euphemism for pig valve, should last 12-15 years, if nothing else comes along.
miriam and i both enjoyed the reunion and do look forward to 50.
