John White's
sister Pat (Class of '58) (patriciawatson@nyc.rr.com) is happy
to report that even though John suffered an aneurism on December
18 that should have killed him outright, he drove himself to
Memorial Hospital, and was transferred within hours to Fort Wayne’s
Parkview where he underwent brain surgery on 12/19. Dismissed
a few days ago after having been deeply sedated for almost three
weeks, he now seems completely recovered except for occasional
headaches.
John had given up smoking just
three days before his medical emergency, so upon regaining full
consciousness, found that many of the urges of a recovered smoker
were behind him! He continues to suffer from the dire effects
of emphysema which keep him from any real physical activity including
his beloved game of golf. He would be most grateful to hear from
you at his new address:
