I looked over the forum rules and didn't see anything suggesting that this wouldn't be allowed....so here goes.


Hello all,
Some of you know, some not. FYI
News flash/update: Dan Dvorak has been hospitalized. Seems he's been battling an infection in his right foot for some time. It was decided that it must be removed. Thursday 11/8, his leg was amputated below the knee. I made a long overdue visit to him in Alachua General Hospital (Shands at AGH) Friday 11/9. His spirits are very good, given the circumstances. He said "Let everyone know that I'm OK and I'm going to bounce back from this. This is not going to get me down."
Meanwhile, back at the shop, Larry James is running things and Dan is being consulted by phone as needed.
Dan was somewhat surprised to see me. However, he mentioned that he was curious weather I would come see him. It has been several years since we had seen each other.
Love him or loath him....... I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone.
He may welcome visits or phone calls...... or not? You know Dan.....
Shands at AGH phone: 352 372 4321 room 4311.

Best wishes to all,
Mark Wilson
