[AT] OT:Take Care of Your Health

[RonMyers at wildblue.net]

Gene had my heart attach about 11 years ago didn't fair as well as you did
but I do get along now and that's because of my By-Pass surgery.
Like you said if you are over 50 then watch out for the symtons I didn't
an it hurt me real bad.
My heart goes out to Myron's family I hope he has a great Tractor send off.
