Surgery

[Fred W. Schneider III]

This is particularly for "Shadow" and informational for the rest:

You wanted to know, Derrick, when we could get together.  I have
arranged bilateral knee replacement surgery (yes, both knees at the same
time) for March 29th.  I should be home within 3 to 5 days ... knowing
how hospitals work, probably not before Monday April 2nd.  I probably
will be able to have someone else drive he around within a couple of
weeks but I'll be pretty much confined to home for 4 to 6 weeks
afterward.  That should give you a pretty good idea when I cannot
escape, and when you can make arrangements.  The third weekend in April
is the ARM Northeast Region conference, which this year is split between
the railroad and the museum at Strasburg.  Ed is coming here, and, he
hasn't found out yet, but I'll let him drag me there.  Aside from that,
nothing is blocked.  

I'll be back at Arden March 12th - 17th.
