That is great to hear! And I love the way you introduced your status. :) Real mainframer.
I know JR will appreciate hearing the good news. I keep her abreast of the "health" and "goings on" of forum members and she has not liked the news these past few years. :( Too many fallen comrades and she knows we are, mostly, about the same age. :( Good luck, stay well and get better. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richards, Robert B.

Many thanks for the well wishes, prayers, kind words, etc. sent to Rick and to Rebecca. I am in great spirits and very thankful for my mortal existence these days. I have not had a cigarette in 10 days, nor wanted one. Rebecca quit on Monday and we are both working very hard with my physical recovery. Small prayers are appreciated that I do not cough very much in the next few weeks. Even an "ahem" seems to exceed my pain threshold these days. An actual cough is brutally painful! :-( Again, please accept my words of gratitude and pass this information on as you see fit. And Rick, a special thanks. Without being mushy, I owe you one!

The MD types are very impressed with his recovery. Becca is preparing the domicile with only healthy foods and destroying all tobacco products in preparation for this. Bob will be stuck at home for an extended recovery period, but everything looks very good. I will continue to forward messages that come to me, but you can send messages directly at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and I'm sure he'll be watching IBM-MAIN. Becca sends her heartfelt thanks to all who have extended best wishes already. She never realized just how many friends Bob had, and neither did I. And having worked closely with Bob, I'm also pleased to know that he is so highly regarded in our little community. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- No virus found in this incoming message.
