[Wing] Eustace Bowhay, update

[Ken Hoshowski]

There was a post a few weeks ago advising that Eustace had suffered a
stroke while visiting in Calgary.  Eustace has since been transferred to
Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.  I visited him on Sunday March 6 and
found him in reasonably good spirits.  His speech is unaffected and his
right side is fine, as a matter of fact I teased him about the strong
grip he had with his right hand, told him he would be able to finish
riveting his RV10 with his right hand only.  He had slight movement in
his left foot and no movement in his left arm.  Unfortunately, on the
following Tuesday he developed pneumonia and was transferred to
intensive care for a few days. (visitors restricted to family only).  I
talked to his wife Nora this evening and he was returned to a regular
ward today.  He is on a physiotherapy program to restore movement to his
left side.  I understand he may be in hospital for 2 to 3 months.  He is
extremely disappointed that he cannot work on the RV10 but it is a real
incentive for him to concentrate on his recovery.  He is determined to
get back working on that airplane.  Please do not send any emails to his
home as Nora does not use the computer and his mailbox might be full.
If you would like to send him a message, send it to me and I will print
all responses and put them in a binder for him.  I am sure he would
appreciate hearing from you.
