Our Greeting Card to Ed


Ed asked to convey his thanks to everyone for the card and wishes he were at the club meetings as much as we miss him. We sat in his Florida room and talked while the construction people continued working on the re-modeling of his kitchen and dining room.

Ed's health is progressing positively. He has no pain, and his mind is clear, the inconvenience is the lack of energy. He sends his regards to all until his return.
