Hi Son,
How are things going with you? Stinkeye or Tank, showed me your blog regarding your friend, Fred. That was really sad, but it only verifies my belief that you are a gifted writer, even if he was well-known, you are a good writer.
How is work going?
Stinkeye has been here sick the past couple of days, has a red sore throat, no voice left and a temperature, besides being crabby! He misses you and looks up to you alot. I think he was hoping, as I was, that when you were down at B & G’s for your birthday, you would swing by and see us. You have done something that has really benefitted him and I will let you know about it when I see you.
Claude is getting ready for a stint at Harborview-the VA, after 27 years, is finally going to fix their screw up on his right leg which causes his limp and him to be two inches shorter on one side. 27 years ago, in Cally, when he was in the Marines,they put an experimental cast on his leg after he broke his femur in PT-consequently,they left it on too long and the leg shrivelled and did not heal right. Now, supposedly, they have recognized “the error of their ways” and because they don’t have a qualified physician to do it at the Seattle VA, they are going to pay for a qualified ortho doctor at Harborview to rebreak and reset his femur sometime in the next two to three months. They said it will actually give him some height back.
We are saving and looking for a house to move to and rent. We have had our rent raised twice in the last 4 to 6 months. Our lease was only a one year lease.
Well, just wanted to say hi and tell you I love you-we all do.
