News from David Heitcamp

Hi to all,

I am sending this email to everyone. This is an email that failed
when I sent it to the General Store because the message failed. Pls
forward this on to Phil & Ellen Hart.

I had an adventure and wish all of you the best. It looks like I
have a few months ahead of me getting fat & lazy.

First of all, I would like to say "Thank you" for everything that all of
you have done. It was appreciated. Despite all that happened, I enjoyed
the entire event and would not trade one moment. Your kindness and
professionalism was apparent.

I am fine. Before I left the hospital in International Falls, my
son flew in from Ft Wayne, Indiana and drove me back to Ft Wayne.
When I got there, I went to see my family doctor. He sent me to the
hospital in Ft Wayne immediately. I got to spend some time with my 29
year old son. That was great. We talked.

They initially told me that I would lose my toes and a few finger tops.
Finally, they sent a Plastic Surgeon to see me who told me that my toes
should be ok but I will continue to follow up with the burn unit here in
Ft Wayne until all is resolved.

I finally returned home on Saturday afternoon (Feb 10th)

Pls tell everyone I am ok. I returned to work this morning.

God Bless. Happy Trails, Dave
