I got a call today at 3:15 central time!! I was from 847 area code Waukegan, IL.So happy to hear his voice! He sounds tired but ok, he hurt his shoulder during PT a few days ago but said it was some better, holding up pretty good over all. Said the DIV is coming together, need more work on marching, but getting there. He said it is a young DIV. He didn't know when he would get to call again, but said they got to mail letters every Monday. Keeping them all in my prayers.
