Hallo Reinhard,

Dank je wel voor deze vriendelijke actie en voor het vrijgeven van het
e-mailadres! Ik zal ze schrijven.

Groeten, Marcel.

Dear list,

Absolutely. I check twice a day 'cuz my family in the States has to be kept
informed constantly, of course :)

When he gets home, he will be pleased and amazed at all the mail that has
been sent with good wishes. There is certainly no problem with sending to
our private address.

We are feeling really hopeful. The doctors have ordered him off the
ventilator today, and his vital signs are normal, plus his temperature has
been steady and normal as well, which means he probably is not getting an
infection.

Thanks, everyone! I'm printing out the cartoon now.

Yours truly,
Ruth

You're welcome.  The good thing is that all email addresses are automatically
blanked out in the archives.

Thanks a lot for the update, Ruth.  Those are good news, certainly making one
very hopeful.  It's a good thing our Mark had been on the rugged side before the
incident.  This probably gave him the needed stamina to get through it.

Please give him our love as soon as he's lucid enough to comprehend it.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Obviously this was supposed to say "Kahuna."
