    For those that sent me, get well wishes for dad, Especially Carl, Erich, Jason, and others, he thanks you for your kindness and concern and appreciated it very much, and in what has been a difficult time for him, having had been diagnosed with a lung tumour that was malignant, and told by the surgeon that he did'nt want to be the one that killed him, so you can see the last few months, toing and froing from hospital to hospital had dads world all upside down, seeing no solution that carried less risk, but surgery it had to be, as the radilogist was to concerned about it too, and that surgery or radiology could kill him, he decided to take the risk, as without it he certainly would die within a yr or so, so today he comes home after 1 week of operation, and WWII vets prove to be tough as old boots, tough fight and hard battle, and that is my dad,:) at 89 tomorrow he deserves a happy birthday for sure, as we did'nt expect him to survive surgery, let alone make it, my thanks to all the good guys/gals here ...:s!:S!:S!

    Ray, I managed to miss the original posting about this (I know, I'm a slacker). In any case, please extend my best wishes to your dad on his birthday, and my hopes for a speedy recovery. I am rapidly approaching my father's birthday (May 21, he would have been 93), and the 20th anniversary of his death (May 20), so your note is doubly impactful.

    Much luck.
