Health of William L. Howard

On 9 Jan 2008 I was transported to the hospital and the diagnosis was
"Heart attack".There I developed pneumonia, and kidney failure. Today,
the hospital finally released me to recover at home. I have Melissa
Fozman visiting so am well taken care of but I am now facing open heart
surgery and finally surgery on my foot.

It will be a while before I become active on internet posting.

Bill Howard
