Re: Not quite combat ready.
Art, I read most of your E-Mails regarding the Legacy-Ornamental-Mills. I don't comment much because I do not own a Legacy yet. I am building a new shop in Colorado, but am still working in Florida. Frankly, I am waiting to see their new product in July. I have a similar military background and I sympathize with your medical situation. I had colon cancer 10 years ago. I had most of my colon removed and also a foot of my small intestine removed also. Post operatively, my experience is similar to yours. It has now been ten years and I am leading a normal life Hang in there. Things are going to get better. My prayers are with you.

Re: Not quite combat ready.
Hello Art, It's so hard to respond to this type of message. Your positive outlook is really refreshing. It was Henry David Thoreau that wrote, ... when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. Your inspiration is truly heart felt. I hope your recovery continues to go well. -Tim - Original Message - From: Art Ransom To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 6:35 PM Subject: Not quite combat ready.
