Hi All, I talked to Sheldon and his wife, Orpha, this morning by phone in Sheldon's hospital room at the UVA hospital in Charlottesville. Sheldon sounds much stronger than he has recently. He was up and moving about. He has surgery scheduled for 2:00 p.m. to insert a feeding tube into his small instestine to bypass his pancreas and allow it to heal. I will be talking to Orpha later this evening to see how the procedure went, and I will let everyone know how he is doing. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt
