<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have
encouraging news as I stopped in to visit Dick Daniels at the Nursing Home in
Dedham this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see Dick dressed and
alert. He seems tired from this ordeal and when he rose to his feet he
seemed a little unsteady but otherwise appeared to be fairly sharp and in good
spirits and didn't have trouble carrying on a light
conversation. I brought along a "Floral Garden Planter"
with added fresh flowers mixed in from all his friends at <EM>Bay State
Corvairs</EM> to which Dick said<EM>,</EM> "Why the Hell did you spend the
Club's money on me?" I'd say he's turned the corner and getting
better. I believe he'd be up for short visits if any of you would be so
inclined. I'm optimistic we will see Dick back at the "old Bird
Library" by the May meeting. He was a little overwhelmed when I told him
how many of you have called to ask how he was coming along. Should there
be a significant change in Dick's progress, I'll be sure to pass the news along
to you.</FONT></DIV>
