I was sorry to hear the news. But, a double-bypass is better than not knowing until a heart attack occurs. I've got my fingers crossed for your whole family. Keep us posted, and tell your Dad I'm pulling for him.

The "Old Hawk" is doing good so far. Surgery lasted about 6 hours. Will be in ICU for about 3 days. Last thing he asked the doctor was how long it would be before he could fly up to Minnesota to fish steelies and kings with his son. At 72, that ain't bad. If everything goes well, we'll be whacking and stacking kings the first week of October. He's a tough old bird.

Thanks to all the guys that sent their prayers via e-mail. It's really nice when people you have never met, are pulling for you. Thanks again.

Hey Hawk,
Glad to hear that your Dad is doing good. Mine is 76 and we fish together all the time. Both of you have been in my prayers!!!
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff
