I just had a nice conversation with Bill V today. He is having a multiple-bypass heart surgery tomorrow December 1, but he sounds very upbeat to me and has great confidence in his doctor to perform what is becoming a more and more common procedure.

Despite that, I know it is still a very serious operation and I want to send him all my prayers, love and thoughts over the next few days. I know this will help him to be strong and recover from the immediate surgery in ways I'm sure I don't fully understand. I want to invite everyone else who cares for Bill to extend out to him your most positive energy and prayers.

We're all on your side Bill, all rooting for you!

All Blessings.

Ted
