John has been hospitalized with congestive heart failure and pneumonia. He is on a respirator, sedated and will stay that way for a couple of days. His condition is improving, and he is breathing better on his own some of the time. His wife, one daughter and son are with him now, and I will check on him early this evening.

It has been common knowledge for some time that John's health was rough, so this was predictable even though it is a shock. Everyone in the OFGC Silhouette program is considering what we can do individually and collectively to support a man that is so integral to our program. As a group, we shot well in Benton, and individually two of our shooter finished on top, something John is justifiably proud.

I will post more information as it becomes available.

Please post any information you can get. Also please post anything that you can think of that we might be able to do for John or his family.

Bob, please give me a call at home 281-893-1405
Thanks Evelio.

Get well soon, John.

On man.... I am so sorry to hear this. If there is anything I can do let me know. John get well soon buddy... your in my thoughts and prayers.

Both daughters were sitting with Doris this evening, and John seems stable right now. I'll check on them again in the morning.

BlauBear,
Thank you for the information, to those of us that know Kitty he is a very special person and a great supporter of the sport and we all know he has every right to be proud of those he has coached. Hang in there Kitty, our prayers are with you and your family.

Mary

According to Doris, John was heavily sedated this afternoon so I did not risk disturbing him.

As of 6:00 P.M. Monday, John is off the ventilator, sitting up, and lucid. He looks rode hard and put up wet, but it's Kitty!
