<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings, Chirurgeons of Ansteorra,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> HL Gerita asked me to
post this announcement to the list. Tomorrow morning, Gerita is
having surgery. It is not something that is immediately life threatening,
and she has known for several months that this surgery would happen. Still,
it is a major surgery that was not considered elective. I do not have her
permission to divulge details, but what she does want is for all of her friends
to channel good thoughts and prayers to her and her family tomorrow. She,
of course, is very scared and nervous about the whole procedure, and I know
she would love to hear good messages from her friends in the next few weeks as
she recovers. She asks that you please do not call, as her husband David
and her family are as anxious as her and cannot handle the extra phone calls
right now. I am one of her points of contacts after the surgery, and I
will be posting an update when I hear one from David. Please send her
messages either on this list or to her private email at <A
href="mailto:hpockets@verizon.net">hpockets@verizon.net</A> and I'm sure
David or her daughter Lisa will read them to her. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Again, please keep our Gerita in
your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. I will post as soon as I hear
anything.</FONT></DIV>
