Hi Dick and Friends, Best wishes during the upcoming Holidays to one and all and please do a dance for rain!  I was on the losing side of an unprovoked knife fight but am well onto the recovery road. After two and a half months starting at Stanford Emergency and then moving to the VA Hospital in Palo Alto my recovery is progressing at a snails pace. With all the available indoor pools closed, my preferred exercise menu is on the back burner, so my recovery time is less than wished for. Aside from a few knife scars on my hands, neck, face and and nasty damage to my vocal cords, I’m my same old surfer and with luck, will be able to call a few ducks into the blind. I miss the Wallybird gatherings and look forward to attending a meeting in the Spring   Best to all, stay well,    Lanny

**** I’m sure Lanny would appriciate hearing from some of you!

Dick
