I wanted to let you all know about Gary Tharp -- many of you knew him well and shared information with him. The following is a note I received from his friend, Doug. I currently have no other information, but ask that you please pray for him. He shared so much with me that I think of him as a brother. With a sad heart -- Nancee ------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Gary W. Tharp Date: 07/13/05 14:25:42 To: Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert Subject: Re: Fw: Who knew? My name is Douglas and I am a friend of Gary. I don't remember the connection, but I do know that you two correspond on a frequent basis and I want to let you know that yesterday Gary had a massive heart attack and is in critical condition and not expected to live. I just got back from the hospital where he is on a ventilator, an aortic balloon pump, is chemically paralyzed, and they are doing everything possible to keep him alive, but no one is optimistic for his chances. If you are of a nature to pray, I ask you to please do so for him and to keep him in your prayers. Douglas Light
