Brad  so glad you weren't hurt in the tornado.  Hope the rest of the season goes well for you.

Melinda Lang (Bachman)

Bill I'm sorry to learn you have to go through more surgery.  Just doesn't seem fair. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cyndy Day (Savage)

Bill I am sorry for the continued surgery but it also means continued prayer for you.  My Jack has had so many as well and so we have true sympathy for you.  I love what Sandy said, you begin to lose count.  Know we are supporting you.

THEY'RE HERE.....My new great- granddaughters arrived yesterday, June 3rd. AVERY KAREN 4 lb.10 oz.& ABERNATHY GRAY 6 lb.4 oz. Everyone is fine. Am thanking God & giving Him all the praise & glory for His amazing wonders & great love He gives us. And they already have ponies!!! Of course, they're only pink fuzzy rocking horses...but Larry would be impressed as we had horses for years. Larry always wanted to be a cowboy when he grew up!!! 

Nan Nelson (Hays)

 Congratulations great grandmother!  Happy to hear all is well! Will be looking for you to post pics when you are able to. I know you will be so happy when you can hold them! 

Karan Kreighbaum (Faul)

Congrats Great Grandma Linda Kirchner Schrader. I remember 51 years ago last January when my own twins were born. It's quite an exciting experience. Will be waiting to see pictures of your new great grandaughters.

Bill Orr

Wonderful! Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

We have 9 grandkids the oldest of which is 17 so will be a few more years before we are in your situation.

Keep up the good news.

Bill Orr

Had surgery yesterday and waiting for my 9:00 AM appointment with the plastic surgeon.

Two more large holes in my forehead and 1/2 of nose gone. Yuck!

They seem to think that it can be fixed. Hope so!

Will let you know how it is going. Oh, Keep out of the sun without proper clothing and sun block.

Your classmate,

Bill 

Cyndy Day (Savage)

Bill we are thinking of you often as Jack has had that surgery but you are going through even more.  Just wanted you to know you are supported w/our prayers.

Bill Orr

Had an interesting day yesterday. Plastic Surgeon was very good and we joked throughout the operations.

End result will be OK. My nose will be smaller, not a bad thing, and I will have depressions in my forehead. Some 500 stitches. Had to do one over three times due to excessive uncontrolled bleeding. Yuck.

Restless night with a lot of pain. I declined pain medication and am relying on Acetaminophen. Will be OK.

I realize that my minor suffering is nothing in comparison to what many of you have gone thru.

My advice  is to stay out of the sun whenever possible to avoid this kind of inconvenience in your life.

Your Classmate

Sandra Buckley (Matthews)

Bill,  Oh my Goodness - sounds like they really did a number on your forehead and nose !  Isn't it wonderful though that well trained plastic surgeons can put you back to gether again - alomost like "Humpty Dumpty" !!!  My Bill sees our dermatologist June 29th, and right now I can't dtermine that he has any suspect Basel Cells on his face or head, but I do think he has a rather large one on the back side of his upper arm.  He's had a couple MOHS procedures on his extremities before, not just his face, head and ears. 

We pray the pain is subsiding and the healing is starting to take place !  Take it easy and we hope for a total and speedy recovery for you !

Thinking of you !   Sandy & Bill

Marcia Conley (Davis)

I have been in Vegas doing a 3 day tax seminar at a hotel with very bad internet connections, not to also mention the heavy cigarette smoke and have missed so much.

Bill, praying for your quick recovery from the surgery and relief of pain.  500 stitches  WOW!

Linda, congrats on the arrival of your twin great-daughters.  So precious.  I have 5 grandchildren but they are all interested in careers and not babies so doubt I will see any great grandchildren.

Looking forward to the reunion in Branson next year.  Hope my schedule will allow me to be there.

Brad Wiedmann

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Bill.

Nan Nelson (Hays)

Hello Bill...you truly are a " man of grit " !  Praying for total healing!

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Bill:  I am wishing you a very speedy recovery and sending prayers too.I am so sorry that you have to go through this pain and suffering but I can tell from your comments that you are a trouper! Try and have a great summer. 

Melinda Lang (Bachman)

Bill - saying prayers for a speedy recovery.  You have such a positive attitude which should help as you recover from the surgery.

Linda Hayes (Meyer)

Hope things are going well with your recovery, Bill.  You seem upbeat and that in itself is half the battle.

Bill Orr

Stiches removed today. Replaced with steri-strip and 6 week treatment (ointment) to help remove scare tissue.

I don't look  good. When asked by store clerk what happened I gave my standard reply - You should see the other guy.

Thank God Jean is a nurse. She will get me thru this. Two weeks of steri-strip and 6 weeks of ointment should improve my situation.

I will concentrate on inside activities to include finishing a 15 by 15 foot 0 Gage train layout. Whenever I'm hurt I always go back to my Lionel trains. Good clean therapy.

Your classmate,

Bill

Marcia Conley (Davis)

It sounds like prayers are working and that you are on a painful road to recovery but 6 weeks goes by very quickly.  Prayers continuing.

Joyce Casady (Sheumaker)

Bill, 

     I do not know you in person, but I have been reading all about you!  You have been in my prayers-

seems like all our prayers are working for you!  Keep working on your Lionel trains and anything else to keep

the time flying and before you know it the 6 weeks will be over.

Joyce
