Gee Ray, I hope it's nothing more serious than a bad case of Texas Chilli. Sending you love from Tacoma.

Ray...I don't have to tell you what you mean to me...I already embarrassed myself, that way, some time ago.
Just do what the doctors say, and no more pork chop sandwiches for awhile...
Oh... and if you can, tell us where all you're money is hid, in case we need to start a fund for future generations who might need to know why you were so widely read.

Raymond, hope you're feeling better soon! My Raymond Chapman Tattletale Notebook is getting pretty full, perhaps that could provide you with some nice get well kinda reading?

Raymond, You know we enjoyed your company so much at Don's meet! Remember you and Nancie Phillips and I had some nice talks. You're the best, sweetie. Please listen to the doctors and take care of yourself. We need you here for a long time; you've given so much to us because you're one of the finest. Don't overdo it on those stress tests, as they are pretty rigorous. Just do what you can and rest.

Raymond, my friend, my brother, can't you find a better way to get a vacation? There must be a nurse that needs to hear some truth from you. Be strong and well.....We need you.

I spoke with Mike (his son) this afternoon and it sounds like Raymond is doing OK. He's still undergoing some tests tomorrow morning as I understand it.
Mike says Raymond is being 'ornery' and is looking to going home soon... the 'sooner the better!'
We are all pulling for you here Raymond... I even shut off the MultiCam for a moment of silence... in your honor... but then fired it up again to churn out some more AWESOME work. It is ROUTER WARS ya know uless you are calling a truce... If you had an auto tool changer on that pea shooter it could still be running while you are in the hospital.
Hope you are up and at 'em soon!

Raymond.. hoping for the best and don't be too ornery. My dad had to go in a while back with similar symptoms, even though he didn't want to. They didn't find anything wrong, and now I worry because I'm afraid the next time it happens he won't even tell us about it, so we won't make him go in.
Life's too fragile to mess around with, lots of people need you... so take it easy and make sure you're alright, this time AND the next time it happens...
Ok, sermon from the young buck over......
Now get well soon, get back and get the ShopBot going or we'll be having Multicam pop-ups on every post in here...

Just a side note. This has happened both to me and my sign friend Bill Berberich. My chest pains were caused by a pulled muscle in the chest...from flipping MDO sheets! Stabbed every time I took a deep breath. Had all the tests, my ticker is fine. Maybe it's only a pulled muscle...I hope! Love....Jill

Some people will do anything for attention. It's not enough for them to be one of the greatest mentor sign painters in the world; they just gotta have a little spoiling too. Glad to hear you're doing better Raymond.
