Hi Guys, I just got off the phone with Ford. He is going to be in the hospital for a few weeks. The surgery went well and for the first time he will eventually be able to have an unrestricted diet. It's been decades since that has happened last. Timmy (I say this with reverance as he is MUCH older than I) insisted on taking Ford to the hospital and Ford attributes him being alive because of his brothers intervention. As I said Ford is still in the hospital and is pretty far from home. I talked to him on his cell but it sounds like he is on a satellite phone. The hospital number might be better for sound, or you could confuse him and do both at the same time. Joe and Denise had been to see him today. It was good to talk to him and his spirits are up (due to operation thing not me chatting with him). Rob
