Over the weekend, at the RatFink Reunion, Frank suffered a major heart-attack.
I'm sorry I don't have current details, but he insisted I inform his friends in Letterville of his situation.
He was resting comfortably when I left, but has a long road ahead of him.
He's among friends and being taken care of.
At this point all we know is it was very close and doctors point out he won't survive another of that magnitude.
This is also to inform all that he won't be on the net for awhile, he asks not to fill his email up, be patient and he'll communicate w/us when possible. No phone calls please for those that have his number.
Again, he's alive, resting and among friends. I'll come in once in awhile w/updates as I get them. Thank you.

Heart attacks are not the killers that they used to be...I know because I have been through two of them. I just hope he didn't wait too long before seeking medical attention!
Poor lil Scotty...he must be going nuts wondering where Frank is!

O Lord, Please look after our brother, Frank, at this time of distress. He has experienced much in his lifetime and if that is enough, Thy Will be done. You have allowed some of us to stay a little longer after similar health problems and pray You would extend to him that same Mercy,. Amen

Thinking of you mate ... and Scotty. Speedy recovery.
This news hits me especially hard. I had a minor chest pain in the weekend! It only lasted a couple of seconds, but very frightening. Although Sue wasn't home, my good mate Kel Lawton was here bashing panels with me.
I have an appointment with my doctor in a couple of hours from now for a major check-up.

Mr. Magoo, my friend, this disturbing news might not only cause us to pray for you, care about you, wonder where each of us can fit in your recovery, but to also consider what we each need to do to prevent the same experience for ourselves. If the coast wasn't too cold for you I'd want to hijack you when you get outa there. I hope Scotty doesn't worry so much that he starts smoking....

I'm with Si. If Frank has survived this initial heart attack, there's lots of hope. I had my first major heart attack on Dec. 25, 1993 at 40 years old. Despite not getting that lifesaving clot buster drug for over 12 hours, I made it.
It's almost 15 years later. Despite 3 more heart attacks, I'm still here and able to play with all my Letterhead Pals. Franks a hell of a lot tuffer than me. I figure he'll top my record easily. Hang in there my Friend.
Thank You to the unknown poster for taking the time to tell us about our Brother Frank. I'll never forget when my Daughter was in hospital a few years back. We asked everyone in the Letterville Community to send her a postcard unique to their own part of the World. I was there when the first bag of mail was brought to her room. Hospital staff went nuts wondering what "celeberty" they had in their hospital.
Please let us know who you are and how we can bombard Frank with postcards and stuff from his Letterhead Family around The World. At times like this, we all need to know that despite our squabbles, we join together as Family whenever one of us is hurting.
