Hi Framers,<br>
<br>
I hesitate to put this on the list, but I have been around the FrameMaker<br>
community for a long time, and this is the only contact I have with some of<br>
you. Also, in light of Bruce Foster's sudden disappearance last year, I<br>
thought it would be appropriate to post this.<br>
<br>
Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
As many of you know, I was supposed to be on vacation this week, cycling<br>
across New York State with 17 other guys. During my last few training rides,<br>
I experienced some discomfort in my chest. It was a concern because I am in<br>
pretty good shape with almost 800 miles on the bike so far this summer. I<br>
had a stress test on Friday, and the results showed an 80% chance of a<br>
blockage in one of my cardiac arteries. Monday I went into the hospital for<br>
an angiogram, with the anticipation of having the blockage opened and a<br>
stent put in. However, the test showed a couple of areas of blockage, one<br>
being in an area that can't be opened with a stent. So on Wednesday around<br>
12:45 pm, I am going to have open heart surgery with at least a double<br>
bypass. I will be in the hospital for 3-5 days and hopefully experience a<br>
quick recovery at home. I should be back to work late next week.<br>
<br>
Those of you who know me well understand that I have a deep abiding<br>
relationship with Jesus Christ. I received Him as my Savior on April 6, 1984<br>
when I was twenty-five years old. Because He has forgiven me of my sins, I<br>
know that when I die, I will be with Him in heaven. I am still a sinner and<br>
don't deserve heaven, but because of His death on the cross and subsequent<br>
resurrection, He gives eternal life to those who receive Him by faith.<br>
<br>
That said, I am still fairly young (53), and have some young kids left to<br>
raise. So, if you are given to prayer, please pray for Sherry and I this<br>
Wednesday. Finally, thank you all for being a part of my life. The great<br>
people that I work with is an important part of making my work so<br>
satisfying.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Rick<br>
<br>
