Army Driver....situational issues.

Post by Bill_Wolf »

Another one of the boards members has forwarded me an email from AD's wife indicating that our beloved "Army Driver" was stricken with a heart attack on Wednesday 10/5.

He is currently recovering in a San Antonio Hospital.

I will be calling him and will advise the group of his situtaiton shortly.

I wish AD well and my prayers are with him.

The board has been all too quiet in his absence.

Bill, thanks for the sentiment. I am home now. I got home Sat. morning. I was lucky as the main attack came while I was in the emergency room. I had an annurism that rupteed on the right side of my heart as they were checking out my chest pains. Came close guys, almost that last ride to the cemetary in old Betty Boope. I already have my funeral arrangements made with old Betty Boope as the hearse to the Fort Sam Houston cemetary.
Thanks again Bill and the rest of you guys. You are all tops. I will be sitting around the house a couple of days, then back to normal by Wednesday. :lol:
