Update on George
A number of us have now spoken with either George or his brother, and the good news is that he is now doing much better. Last week he was found unconscious in his home and transported to Memorial Hospital in the Springs, where he was placed on a respirator in ICU. According to his brother, the doctors have determined that the coma was due to diabetic shock--I'm not sure if George was aware he had diabetes, so it probably caught him by surprise. On Saturday he was reported up, eating breakfast, and conversing with visitors. On Sunday I spoke with on the phone from The Track, as did Chrissy and Gunter, and he sounded tired but very alert and sharp--he was very interested in how everyone qualified. He said they're still doing follow-up tests, but confirmed the diabetes diagnosis. He thanked everyone for the flowers, messages, and prayers and obviously looks forward to getting back home and to the track.

Re: Update on George
Joe,
Thanks for that update.
Do you have and can you give an email contact for George I can use and will definitely get through to him?
Thanks

Glad to see he is doing better! I knew whatever it was couldn't keep that old fart down.

Re: Update on George
Hey, Chaz, it's been a while!! I typically contact George at one of the following email addresses, though I have no idea when he'll be back at his computer:
