His letter:
We are in Fl. My cardiologist finally cleared me to travel last Monday.
I feel fine. As a matter of fact I never DIDN'T feel good. In spite of the fact that I've never had symptoms, my cardio guy decided that the most recent tests didn't tell him enough. He catheterized me, found a couple of blockages, and stented me.
Happiness is a curious cardiologist.
Emily and I return on Feb 10. I look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting thereafter.
Many thanks for thinking of me.
Best,
Tom
- CONGRATULATIONS TO ED HERBSTER!! HE IS THE ESTEEMED RECIPIENT OF THE PAUL HARRIS FELLOW RECOGNITION PIN! Ed is a Trustee/Treasurer of The Rye Rotary Foundation. He also is the Senior Club Advisor and Historian. Also, he is the District Secretary.
Note: The Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the Founder of Rotary, as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Foundation’s charitable and educational program. A Paul Harris fellow is an individual who contributes $1000 or in whose name that amount is contributed. Every Paul Harris fellow receives a pin. This identifies the Paul Harris fellow as an advocate of the foundation’s goal of world peace and international understanding.
