BILL ASHBAUGH
|
The latest word on Bill (Sep 14, 2004) is that he's
not doing well. He is still losing weight and cannot take solid
food. He recently had another operation, and so far seems to be
doing okay. Recovery will take awhile, and he will be unable to go
with us on the bus trip this year. Keep him in your prayers.
