Hello all,

I wanted to send out an update on Don Lopp. The last I reported, his
surgery went well.

What I haven't yet reported was that Don had 7 bypasses. You read
that right. Seven.

His spirits were high, but his strength was low. I visited him
frequently in the hospital and took him for walks to help build up
his strength. He still was having trouble getting in and out of bed,
and he's been placed into a rehab center until he can return home.

I want to give credit to everyone who called or wrote to Don and
helped him keep a bright outlook. And if you haven't had a chance to
call or write, please do so. You'll be happy you did.

Don is now at Wesley Homes. You can call him at:

206.870.3135

You can write to him at:

I don't know how long Don will be there.

Thanks,
Bob Venezia
