Richard Fortman?

[Lindus Edwards]

Hi John,
I too am concerned about Richard as I have not heard from him in several weeks. I emailed him about two weeks ago with some new play on the Octopus but he has not replied. I will send him a message at ITY. If I hear anything I will let you know immediately.
I hope and pray that he is well.
Lindus.

I thought, why not just call his home and see if he answers, so I did. His wife Faye answered and told me that two and half weeks ago he fell and she had to call for help. Fireman came and got him up and into his bed. If I understood correctly, he was taken to the hospital and they said he had a viral infection. (it was affecting his intestinal track) He was left very,very weak from this and was sent to a nursing home to recover. (Faye is in a wheelchair, so is limited in what she can do to help him.)

Now for the good news, Faye says he is getting better and she hopes he will be returning home by early next week.

Regards..."Pal"

Hi Pal,
It was so good of you to telephone and God bless you for it. I have been thinking of Richard since I read John's message. I will keep Richard and Faye in my prayers.

I also was afraid, as he forfeited our games on IYT.
I wish he makes a good recovery.

I just received an email from Richard's daughter Cindy. She says that Richard should be out of hospital by next week.
