Hi Mike and all:

While respecting privacy, I know Mark went in for some diagnostics and a procedure. I have sent him a couple of emails to check on his progress. Others have inquired about his absence as well. I haven't heard back from him yet but will leave a message this afternoon. I do hope all is well and that he is just under observation and recovery. Mark is a helluva guy and his retirement is just around the corner. I hope to see him around here and back at his bench cranking out amps very soon. Keep him in your thoughts.

Good luck for a speedy recovery Mark.
I know several guys who have had this procedure, and all came through fine, and feel much better for it.
Heal fast!

I've got a card to send to Mark. Please PM me if you would like me to add your name to it. I'd like to send it out by tomorrow to give guys a chance to read this thread. I'll include everyone that's posted or PM'd me so far. I left a voicemail for him to see how he's faring.

Thanks,
Dave

Best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery. As a survivor of an MI in 2007, I know some of what he is feeling about now.
Wife: How many amps do you need?
Me: Just one more...

I wish nothing but the best for Mark. He's an awesome person, a super nice guy and a hell of an amp building talent.


I too know people (in worse shape) who have made it through this procedure. It sounds scary but the success rate is extremely high and it drastically improves the quality of life. I will keep Mark in my thoughts and wish him a speedy recovery.
