Guest Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Greetings Fishing Minnesota Family: Of all people that I thought would never touch a computer, my Dad was at the top of the list. Now, of all the things he does on the Internet, being a member of this community is the thing he enjoys the most. Kingfisher will not be online for a while. He will be undergoing open-heart surgery this afternoon. I know he will miss participating in this community while he is down -- I will get a laptop to him as soon as he can use it . If you want to send him a greeting, please reply to this topic and I will print them out for him to read in the hospital. Kingfisher sends his greetings. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Warmest regards,Kingfisher Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistermom Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Good Luck sir!When you have recovered maybe you could drag my Dad out of the 1950's and get him up to the early '90's technology wise. Take care!mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fubar Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Kingfisher, my father in-law has been there three times. He's a stubborn old fart from Iowa that is still complaining about the nurses, well all except that one really cute one. He liked her. My prayers are with you, have a quick recovery.

Mr. Pike1 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Kingfisher, I do not know you as a person but based on the fact that you are on this board I know you share the same passion as I and the other on this board. The joy of being on the water, spending time with your buddies, and chasing that elusive big fish. I wish you a speedy recovery from this recent set back. Give us an update once Kingfisher Jr. gets you that laptop in you hospital room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Toys Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Good news Phil aka KingFisher is coming home today. He is a little weak from not eating as much and 4 bypasses. I’m sure when he is up to it he’ll be on the puter and letting us know how things are going. Who knows he might recover faster reading the fishingmn forums so he can set the hook again!“FISH” Wishing you a fast & healthy recovery! ------------------http://www.icesaws.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts, prayers, and wellwishes, during my quadruple heart by-pass surgery, Saturday, 2/8/03. The surgeon Dr. Newman said everythng went very well considering it is over 20 years ago since my last one. Got home from the hospital yesterday. When soft water comes I should be ready for the walleye and lake trout.Thanks again everyone.------------------Keep a tight line,Kingfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
