updated 6-16-06 Neil Sanders, (passed away on 6-14-06) who lives in Michigan, has been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and is most grateful for the support of his family and friends. Prayers would be appreciated as Neil goes through this terrible time in his life.(1-16-06) Robert (Rob) Adams (passed away on 6-19-06) has been ill and having some heart problems; and now has received the diagnosis that he is experiencing the ravages of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease.) Already Rob has lost his ability to walk, and is losing the ability to use his arms and legs. Of course he tells us that he was surprised with this; and his wife Peggy asked for prayers for Rob. They live in Tennessee. (1-16-06) Bob Hardin is continuing to recover after suffering two strokes in February. Fortunately he is now able to work on the computer to get the web pages updated. Still walking with a cane, and very slowly; he thanks all those who have offered encouragement with cards, letters, emails, calls, visits, and prayers. (9-21-05) Joy Booher Burnsworth tells us that she is doing better and is grateful for the all the prayers and thoughts sent her way. (6-14-04) Joy Booher Burnsworth has reported that she will undergo surgery soon after receiving not so good news from a biopsy of a breast lump. She asks for prayers for healing at this time. (12-16-03) Jim Lowe (passed away 5-8-04) is making good progress with his artificial leg and has been seen out wandering the neighborhood in his motorized chair with his trusty dog on a long leash. (12-16-03) Jim Lowe (passed away 5-8-04) is recovering at home after having his right leg amputated below the knee on August 25, after complications with diabetes. Recent information tells us that he is improving daily with the loving assistance of his wife Pug (Darlene.) They live in Logansport. Jim sends his thanks to all those who have sent cards during his illnesses. (9-21-03) Steve Foreman asks that we let everyone know that his heart is behaving just fine and he is expecting many more years of good health, thanks to his doctors. (9-21-03) Update from Patricia White Watson: Just wanted to let you know that I've gotten through the third surgery with flying colors, and though only out of the hospital for 10 days, I'm doing so well that I now plan to attend the Class Reunion August 1-2... (5-20-03) Patricia White Watson sent this information to share and welcomes prayers for healing... "I entered the hospital on February 14 for observation that resulted in two emergency surgeries and a month's stay with a long recovery period and another surgery facing me in 2-3 months, when I'm strong enough. The problem was acute diverticulitis that ruptured, plus a blockage that necessitated the second, life-saving surgery one month ago. I've been home, bed bound, till a couple of days ago, for three weeks today. Luckily, I have had excellent care and am told to expect full recovery -- a month without food and little water, two months in bed, and a weight loss of 30 pounds, mean I have a lot to make up for in regard to nutrition and body rehabilitation. The doctors tell me that there was only a 5% chance of my having the problem in the first place (speaking of luck, eh?), but slim to nothing are my chances for a recurrence. In the meantime, my only daughter, Christie, is expecting her first baby around my birthday in mid June, so I want to be strong enough to be there for her, as she and her brother Decker certainly were for me through this difficult period." (4-7-03) Joe Sumpter went in for tests for shortness of breath and had three stents inserted on November 12/13. He says things feel a bit better as he approaches the holiday season.

It appears all has gone well, and They are thrilled to be headed home. (7-24-01) Jim Fiedler (passed away 7-28-01) still waiting for liver transplant in Florida. He has been waiting for eight months now and becoming discouraged. E-mail to help cheer him up might be helpful. See the '58 e-mail page for his address. (7-21-01) Sadly, Jim died after receiving the transplant. See the Memorial information at bottom of main page. Steve Foreman underwent open heart surgery on July 20. They found the aortic valve could be repaired, so replacement was unnecessary. The surgery appeared to go very well, and Steve is up walking the day after surgery. Wife Sue reports "At the 10 AM visit Steve looked terrific! They'd removed the chest drain, the sensor in the heart and the catheter. He sat up for breakfast and was ready to take a walk right after we left. The assistant surgeon told him they only needed to snip two cusps apart and the value worked perfectly."

He lost two fingers last year from this and may lose two more soon. he can not walk, but they are working on that at rehab. He is a fighter and that is what has kept him going-----THAT AND A LOT OF PRAYERS AND MANY GREAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY. Here is Jim's address at rehab: Jim Lowe Healthsouth Rehab room 203 829 N. Dixon Road Kokomo, IN 46901 Darlene Tipton Lowe (Pug) (4-3-01) Connie Otterman Ludwig had triple bypass surgery on March 6, and came home on Saturday the 10. All went very well - her nurses tell me that she is way ahead of schedule on the healing curve. She is still in a lot of pain and is therefore unable to sleep through the night. I give her pain medication about every four hours. I know that every day that passes will see her hurting a little less and less and soon she'll be her old self. Thank you for your prayers and concern. Paul Ludwig (3-24-01) Jim Fiedler (passed away 7-28-01) is awaiting a liver transplant as they spend the winter at their place in Florida. Through a blood transfusion, he got Hepatitis C and now cancer of the liver. A couple of years ago, he had a blood clot that settled in his spine and he was unable to walk for for four months. It is a chore to walk today, but with the use of his cane, he can get around. (3-11-01) Connie Otterman Ludwig is scheduled for open heart surgery the week of March 12 in Arizona, for narrowing of the arteries, a disease that her mother died of when she was just 63 and they think it may be hereditary. (3-9-01) Marggie Pasquale Fouts is planning to undergo some chemotherapy soon, if not already, for a small cancer that was found. The prognosis appears good since there was only a small spot found so far. (3-2-01) After the doctors got a good look at Steve Foreman's heart, they feel that it is very strong and they do not have to do any surgery at this time. So a big sigh of relief was heard from Florida when that news was received. (3-9-01) This message from Sue Foreman on Feb 11, 2001. In applying for
an insurance policy Steve Foreman was told his heart was
not looking good. Seems his left ventricle was enlarging
and his aortic valve was not working right. This news just
after he whipped the uphill treadmill test and felt mighty strong. Just thank you for your prayers.
