Allen suffered a head injury last November but is now at his daughter's home recovering. Today, I received a call from his daughter, Rachael in Medical Lake, WA. Alan is there and under 24/7 supervision. She is his caregiver and, as part of his therapy, she has hired a fishing guide (!) who has taken him to several lakes for fly fishing. I talked with him by phone. It was cheering to hear his distinctive "Hi, Mal." He asked how I am, whether I had been fishing, etc. Yet, effects of his injury were apparent here and there. But, thanks to Rachael and medication, he has made remarkable progress. He said that he is fine physically. A purpose of Rachael's call was to announce that a noon luncheon will be held for Alan on June 3 at Robert Wieglus' house in Pullman, WA. Bob works at WSU and is a fishing friend of Alan. You may announce your intention to attend or send your greeting by e-mail to wielgus(a)wsu.edu Rachael's address: 14812 W. Thorpe. Rd., Medical Lake, WA 99022. House phone for Alan: 509 483 3815. Rachael's mobile phone: 509 218 6519 (she can assist with contact if needed). Alan's new e-mail: aaberryman(a)hotmail.com; however he may not monitor it regularly and has some trouble using it.
