His breathing became very labored and difficult and gray is not my favorite color. ICU has done a fantastic job and as I send this e-mail he is sitting up in chair at his bedside with a very high concentration of oxygen. A CAT scan is on the agenda for today to see if there is some specific reason for this fluid accumulation to happen again. The Lasix has done it's job by eliminating 2 liters(guarts) yesterday and 1.5 liters so far today. Hopefully these wrinkles will be ironed out and he can start making some real progress with his new parts. I think we will be here for a few days and I will send you updates as needed.

As soon as the snow and cold weather start again, I will want to reassess what the heck I am doing here! The Carolinas are looking better each winter. I hope to someday find my 'forever house' but at 75, it's probably too late. I am running out of energy to pack boxes.Please give my warm regards to everyone." Nancy Gebler |

| Joe & Margie Gordon Zyblewski | 5/7/15......Our daughter has had pancreatic surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital on April 3rd. We have been very busy helping her out and taking care of her family. She had her pancreas removed along with her spleen and about 4 inches of her intestine. Preparation for the surgery was 8 weeks with various tests etc and then the surgery. She has a small business. Her husband teaches school during the day and tries to keep the business going in the evening. So Marg cares for the kids meals laundry etc and I try to do other stuff. House chores yard ferry the grandchildren around etc. Needless to say we have a lot going on. Erin is one of 16 patients in the US to have this procedure done lapriscopically. Her recovery period is about 3 months. They were able to transplant islets from her pancreas to her liver but the islet count was less than they wanted. So she is now on an insulin program to adjust sugar levels. We hope to be able to attend the party but it all depends on recovery. So far she is doing well and the surgeons and docs are pleased with the recovery. She is on a powerful pain medication and cannot drive so we do all the hauling so to speak. She needs a lot of rest to get back to normal. As you can imagine it will take time & patience. We'll get back to you the end of May or 1st week of June. |

He cooks for a crew of 45 that live, eat and work aboard ship. I volunteer in the gift shop during the ship's travels.

| Al (Boo) Martinez | 12/4/12....Very sad to report that Boo passed away this morning. Close to Thanksgiving his wife sent a message saying he had gone into the hospital for a treatment. While there picked up a major infection...lost weight, had liver complications so stayed 4 weeks before transferring to a rehab center. His wife said she didn't share info about his hospitalization as Boo was very private about medical issues. He had been doing well in rehab, planned to be home for Thanksgiving dinner and finally home for C'mas...it never happened. |
| 8/29.....On June 23, 2012 Joe and Joan celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The Tampa Tribune ran an article, with photo, about their special day (click here). There is also a photo of the unique cake their son Scott designed. He surprised them with a replica of Holy Rosary Catholic church in Ashley where they were married. Probably most of our clasmates from the Newtown area will recognize it. |
|
| 8/27...Finally retired totally from Nursing profession. Looking for volunteer outlets once fall is here. Had a 50th Anniversary celebration (early) by going on Caribbean cruise with children and grand children, a first experience for most of them. David is now turning bionic with 2 total knees and a recent shoulder replacement--airports are fun for him. Esther <EAE401@comcast.net> |
|
| Ray Nutaitis | 8/26.....We are in the midst of preparing for a permanent move to central Florida, selling our AZ house, finally retiring, figuring out Medicare/supplement plans(ugh!!!) and finally getting there by mid/end of October. Once we get settled with new address, phones, email etc., I’ll be in touch. My wife’s mother is still going strong at 93, and will celebrate 94 next August. So the idea of a trip to see her and the reunion is exciting. Stand by until then... Ray (480-839-2690) |

| 11/27 note from Don Mattey....I am sorry to inform you that another of our classmates, Brother Luke (Donny) Stone, has been seriously ill for several months. Donny has been diagnosed with what is called a "silent" cancerous tumor where the pancreas, small intestine, bladder and stomach meet. Fortunately, he has no pain whatsoever. On the other hand, he is in an extremely weakened condition. The initial plan was for him to undergo a very complex, extended surgical procedure, but the doctors have now informed him that they do not believe his heart and overall weakened condition will allow them to safely perform this complicated surgery. Instead, he will shortly begin chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Since October 11, Donny has been in three hospitals for a total of about 30 days. He is currently back home resting and trying to build up his stamina so that he is up to receiving the two therapies. He is not up to doing much E-mail correspondence at this time, but I am sure he would be very appreciative to receive any cards and messages to let him know that he is in our thoughts and our prayers. Donny's address is: Brother Luke Stone Church of the Assumption 34 James Street Keyser, WV 26726-2721 |
