UPDATE: PHIL ABSHER

I just talked to Phil. He went into the hospital on Tuesday the 24th. They did an angiography and determined he had 90% blockage in his left carotid artery, 20% blockage on the right carotid artery and about 10% blockage on a heart artery. He thinks he will go back on 4/01/09 to have heart stents put in. Please keep Phil in your prayers.

PRAYER REQUEST

Phil Absher recently had an ultrasound on his carotid arteries and they found significant blockage on the left side. He is scheduled to have an angiography on Tuesday the 24th to see just how much blockage and to determine which procedure to use to correct the problem. Phil has asked that we, "send some prayers." I'm sure he will be in all of our thoughts and prayers. God bless you, Abby.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he can not turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping.
May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!

A FEW WORDS

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If it doesn't make you smile,
You're doing it wrong!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sing like nobody's listening...
Dance like nobody's watching...
And love like it will never hurt!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A lie has speed...But truth has endurance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FE Warren - USAF drivers license, promotions, other documents

Just found some documents in my records folder. Stumbled across it. It has my vehicle operators license for the Base. Was also just stamped when I went to Goose Bay, Labrador so it applied up there also. Look for various promotion orders for groups or myself. A MAP of Warren that they must have given me. Another picture has the legend for the map. Hank Seamon, Gettysburg, PA
