Our shipmate, Chris, took a bad fall in April and has TBI. The doctors believe he will approach normal in about 6 months.

Chris was my LPO in the mid-80's so this hurts extra.

I'm in contact with Gretchen.

Based on my significant medical training, believe it would be beneficial for him to talk to a bunch of his buddies to jog some memories.

Will advise number when Gretchen is prepared for the deluge.

Bad news... hope there are no ripple effects. Never know with TBI's. Have Gretchen give Chris my best for complete and non-eventful recovery. Still mending from my two falls in March and May. Not real fun, but no TBI. Rick

One of my favorite sailors. I met him as a Seaman, I turned around twice and he was a Master Chief.
My most sincere wishes for A speedy and complete recovery.

Prayers and best wishes for a full recovery for Chris. Trying my best to remember where I knew him. Keflavik? ORI team maybe?

Thoughts with Chris and Gretchen. I followed Chris Weller on and off throughout his career. We first met at NAVFAC Keflavik, Iceland during a 1983-86 tour. Great analyst, true gentleman and one hell of a comedian. Don't believe he was a member of the Association, Nick. Do we have an address? - Jim

Sorry to hear this. I have him as a friend on FB and try to keep in touch. Think he’s in Florida.

Chris saw a different neurologist today. After reviewing his chart and examining him, the doc was amazed at his progress and predicted that Chris would be fully recovered in a year and playing tennis in 18 months.

Fabulous news.

Nick

Great news! Give them both my best! r

I Hope Chris is doing better. Gretchen please sen him a warm Aloha from me.
thanks
