Ken Weinbel is battling medical mystery, wife reports
Ken Weinbel, an 80-year-old thrower who was USATF Masters T&F Committee chairman from 1996 to 2001, is reported to be in poor health with a recent history of unexplained seizures and falls. He’s been moved recently to Daystar Retirement Village, an assisted-living facility in Seattle. His wife, Noelle, says doctors won’t let him go home until the reasons for his problems have been nailed down. Noelle writes: “It would be heart-warming if Ken received mail from family and friends.” Ken can be reached at Daystar Retirement Village, 2615 SW Barton Street, Apt. 3-220, Seattle, WA 98126-3900. Noelle also wrote some friends and family members: “Thank you one and all for your prayers and also for your physical and emotional support while turning the page to this most difficult chapter in our lives.”
