AMessage From Chaplain Art Brooks…

Message from Sick Bay: P/C Ardo Apigian had back surgery the middle of last month. After his surgery, he was going to a rehab facility to build up his strength as far as walking. Cards should be sent to his home address. P/C Denise Huntley had extensive ankle surgery on July 14 th . She had broken it some 30 years ago while ice skating. Tom said that the doctor was very pleased with the surgery and should be able to resume normal activity after about three months. She should be able to hit the tennis court after her recovery is fully completed.

I talked to Marie Yowan recently. She wanted to bring us up to date regarding her recent heart attack. A stent was necessary at that time to open a blocked artery. She is home resting. Marie, take care !!! We talked to P/C Bill Bauer who reported that he had carotid artery surgery and is home recuperating now. Everything went well. He sounded real good and is anxious to get back on his feet. P/C Ed McIntyre’s brother, Robert J. “Mac”, passed away on June 26 at the age of 72. Mac had visited the island many times enjoying it immensely. Please remember our NCYC family members in your thoughts and prayers.

Harold F. Mohn penned the following - sounds like a wonderful goal for each day

A Newborn Day The dawn will rise tomorrow Upon another day, And all the fears you possess Are bound to fade away.

The sun will rise high in the sky To warm your heart and soul, And be a source of newfound strength To help you reach your goal. And when the day is o’er and done And the sun sets in the west, Be sure that you can always say: “Today I gave my best.”
