...and the reason his Dad, Russell was not.....
I want to thank Stan Baker, Butch Baker, Todd Yonkman, Peter Sloop, Gary Coberly-Waggoner and the entire LSLC Family for helping me out of a jam this past week. As most of you know, I suffered a mild heart attack on Monday night before Roundup. This was Matthew's spring break from Baylor University and we had been planning on going to the Roundup together for some time. This was to be Matthew's first trip out in the new and improved Meanie.
After a heart catheter procedure on Tuesday morning, I spent the rest of the day in my hospital bed trying to work out how I could get Matthew to Katemcy. Stan Baker agreed to come to Commerce and help Matthew load up the rigs and take him in my place. I will forever be grateful.
Matthew had a blast and came home with 300+ sweet pictures! Check them out at http://www.4x4crawl.smugmug.com.
I am 47 years old, thought I was in excellent health (ok, a little bit overweight), a non-smoker, a non-drinker and I had a heart attack. Stress levels & cholesterol levels a bit too high I guess. There is no heart disease in my family. Fortunately, my problem can be treated with a couple of heart meds, an asperin, healthier meals, exercise, and some stress-relief time every once in a while. I am positive the latter means MORE wheelin' trips.
Count every day with your family a gift from God! Once again, thank you LSLC! I am proud to be associated with all of you.
