I'm sorry to break the sad new of my Dad's sudden passing. My Dad was in poor health the last couple of years, my Mom, Sister and I took care of him at home. We took him to the hospital on Friday because he wasn't eating and his strenght was weakning. The Doctor said his Kidney's was really bad...so they monitored him for 24 hours. After that with medication, the Doctor said his kidneys were better and nothing was wrong with him...so if we had a plan (home or nursing home). I talked to my Mom this morning that I wanted to bring Dad home so we could take care of him. We waited for the Doctor to call this morning. He finally called 9am (Hawaii time) and told me my Dad passed away. I now know the feeling...it felt like someone stuck a knife in my heart. My condollness to any to have had a close family or friend pass away. Sorry for the spelling (my mind is still not sane). I love this hobby and the many friends that I've been fortunate to have met. Some have become my best friends. Thank You Greg Susong, this chipboard is a way for many of us to communicate with others in the hobby and count the days until the
annual convention! All you people in this club is one big family and I love you all. Thank you for all of you who have read my letter. I need time to heal and are looking forward to next months convention.
