Message from Uncle Don

I have a 2nd hernia surgery scheduled for November 21st in Cincinnati. It looks like another pregnancy -- ha ha -- but really not -- just growing another small football! Anyway, I will remain in Cincinnati until after Christmas ... So any Christmas cards can be sent to me there at Jami's address. If all goes as planned, I will return to Litchfield (weather permitting) for the winter. I've been advised that lifting is a NO-NO, So I can recoup here easier without fear of needing to GO GO GO! While wintering in warm weather is nicer, this will work.
My love to all and keep me in the prayers.
Love,
Uncle Don

Happy Birthday Chris!
