I have a friend who suffered a stroke Oct.6- he's doing rehab in the hospital for at least another wk. His daughter is attempting Nursing home plans. He's a retired Navy man ,and never heard of or used any V.A. Benefits. He's got a long way to go- The left side doesn't work- eye,hand leggs feet, and of course he's very tired-sayes he's done with gunsmithing and cuemaking. His work is unbelievable- He makes guns from raw materials,any kind- and new calibers,has a bk collection like a musem- so you can figure the stuff he has been making for producing cues. He litterly makes me swear( to tell know one). he invented things as well, like plastic milk jugs made them sold them to the milk companys. He is so independent he never spoke of family(ever to me or my father) in his area- and he hasn't made 1 call to tell them he's sick. He lives a simple life by the lake,and sings to the tune of a self-employed bussinessman. It's always his way or the highway-but his work is unbelievlable. His shop is so clean you could eat off the floor. I wear gloves so the sweat from my hands doesn't rust the metal stuff. Ron Lampert bemidji Hospital 4th floor. please post something for Ron -so I could say he has others that do care for his health. I will copy and bring to the hospital next wk. I realize I can be a self centered egotitical S.O.B.- but for this man(and most others) I would let my fingers,thumbs be broken-so he and others would live longer,and suffer no mental or physical pain. not 1 word of reprisal now or ever- heck tell me to become a lurker-just a kind word to the man above. thanks for listen and reading Yours truly mark please
