He asked me not to spread it around, but Hank is having some very serious surgery early in the morning. He will be out of commission for some time. I have faith that he'll be fine, but I'm willing to bet he'll do BETTER with our support. If you are a praying person, please include him and Linda. Thanks, DonM

For years DonM talked about Hank the Lurker. Never a word from the man himself. I began to doubt if there was such a person. Then I met him in Shreveport. A terrific guy. You couldn't help but like him from the minute you met him.

Don, please send my good wishes to Hank. Hank and I have had many conversations about gear over the years. He is a very friendly guy. May he have a speedy recovery and get back to making music. George Kaye

I've been in constant contact with Hank since I first met him nearly five years ago. He's a wonderful person and dear friend. While I'm not religious I sincerely hope he fares well in what may be the most difficult challenge of his life.
Good luck old friend,
Gary

Hank has read your replies and says thanks. He'll have a laptop in the hospital during his recovery, but it will most likely be a while before he can respond. He is projected to be in intensive care for several days and in the hospital for a few weeks. I'll keep you posted. Thanks my friends, DonM

Hank made it through the surgery and is in intensive care under sedation. I will post more after I speak with him and Linda in a day or two. Thanks for your continued support. Don

I visited with Hank for about an hour today. He is still in Intensive Care, but may move to a room tomorrow or Thursday. He asked me to tell you how much he appreciates your good wishes and support. I thank you too! DonM
