[NSRCA-discussion] Ron Van Putte surgery

[Curt Oberg]

Gentlemen,

Just want to let everyone in the AMA pattern community that one of our AMA
pattern pioneers, Ron Van Putte is undergoing some serious surgery tomorrow
morning and can use all of our thoughts and prayers.  Ron had a heart attack
Fri, luckily not fatal and he will have double, triple bypass, (that's
right, a total of 6) operation tomorrow at the age of 82.  To his credit,
Ron has always maintained a healthy weight and used to be a marathon runner,
and the prognosis looks good for a full recovery  a couple of months down
the road.  Ron has still been operating his Shalimar Hobby Shop and he
regrets to announce that it will be closed until near the end of Feb.  We
hope and pray that Ron has a good outcome with the surgery and will soon be
rejoining us on the AMA  pattern contest trail.  You can't keep a good man
down and that certainly applies to Ron.  Just thought everyone would want to
know.

Curt Oberg
