From Bernie White:

Just a note to let you know that Doreen Edwards rang yesterday and told me that Jack is now in a Nursing Home at Westmead with a touch of dementia.   His address is Mayflower Nursing Home, Westmead near the Hospital.   Doreen said that Charlie Maiden calls into see him.

Cheers  Bernie

From Norm Stagnitta and Colin Kelly (ex-Paddington ITMC/INMC:

Danny Yee is in Concord Hospital and is very sick. Apparently he has leukaemia and the chemotherapy is not going well.

Best wishes to Danny and his family have been received from many people who have known and respected Danny over the years in which he worked at Paddington in ITMC, ISCC, INMC.

Allan Hennessy has advised that Brian Woods had a fall last Friday night and is in Gosford Hospital recovering from an operation that he had on his hip last Monday (19/9/11).

I will update this BLOG when I get more details on Brian’s condition.

Message from Vernon Yen

I spoke Kim today and he is in poor health suffering from Parkinsons. He has a slight problem with his speech for which he is undergoing therapy. Kim has asked that I pass on his fond regards to all his ex OTC colleagues.

As he is a bit low at the moment, I am sure he would greatly appreciate a call from a few of his friends and colleagues.

Kim’s contact details are as follows:
Home Address- 128 Castleton Crs., Gowrie, ACT 2904
Telephone 02 6291 6099.

Mick Ward rang me this morning to give an update on Jeff Pace’s health.  For those of you who are not aware, Jeff was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year (ironically enough, at the same time as Kevin Huby’s death from the same problem).  Jeff has been going through the usual radio and chemotherapy, however Mick says he has had a bit of a turn for the worse, but is receiving physiotherapy and occupational therapy and can again talk and recognise friends and family.  Of course, everyone remains hopeful that he will regain his health.

Jeff was an integral member of our clan, and Mick and I thought that many of you would perhaps welcome an opportunity to say “hello” to Jeff, or at least keep him in your thoughts during these troubled times.  Jeff is currently at the Sacred Heart Hospice, which is part of St Vincents Hospital in Darlinghurst.

Mick can be contacted on 0418-249116, or at e-mail MWard@primustel.com.au if you want further details.
