All,

I have always known that there would come a time when my name would appears on the “Thinking of You” and “Get Well” list just as I have seen for many of my friends who had reached that time of their life.

Know that it is really appreciated to be remembers my so many. I have always said that the most important accomplishment in one’s life - “is how you will be remembered”.

My basic issue along with my long time lungs/oxygen problem is that liquid and food particles are going “down the wrong pipe” into my lungs – subsequently causing breathing issues and pneumonia. I am normally in some state of pneumonia.

I will be alright - I intend to return to work Monday 22 Aug 22.

Thank you for being a part of my life.

Ed
