Thanks for the update and the news that the stroke is mild. Hopefully he will have a full and complete recovery. Peter is our Masters Track and Field national treasure – he should be named to our Hall of Fame.
and thanks for the address.
Thanks for letting us know about Pete and giving his contact info. I called him and he sounds really good. In fact he sounds just the same. We talked quite a bit – he, being Pete, checked himself and his memory and, indeed, was right on.
He says he goes in for surgery tomorrow morning. Of course, we all wish him well.
Hope you make a swift recovery…..
