He says he s doing fine and is looking forward to seeing us at the Christmas dinner. Mac had a small stroke on 11/21 and spent the night at Three Rivers Hospital. He s feeling much better now and hopes you will forgive any screwups in this issue of the newsletter. Please call Pam Green at 541-471-9214 if you know of someone in the club who could benefit from our thoughts and prayers to get through illness or adversity. We will respect the need for privacy.
