OMG...I was just wondering the other day where he'd been! We were out driving on the Linn Cove Viaduct and the main reason I wanted to see it was because of the wonderful DVD he and Addie brought us when they visited! I am SOOOOO sorry to hear this. Thanks so much for sharing this info. Hope he gets well soon!!!
