Retired Captain Mike Zompetti's wife, Lee, recently passed away.  Lee & Mike were still living in their home of 44 years.  Lee was Mike's primary caretaker.  Mike lost his independence a few years ago and is wheel chair bound.  He also suffers from Dementia.   As a result Mike has been moved to a facility called Bridges in Nashua on Amherst Street.  He has lost his independence, his home, his life as he knew it and his soul-mate.  Cards or visits would be very much appreciated.

Cynthia Magill

Wife of J Ken Magill

Attn: Mike Zompetti

 Mike can have visitors at Bridges. Mornings between 10 and 12 and evenings between 5 and 7 work the best right now.

Dave,

Since you are the go to guy in ORD I thought I would update you on former ORD F/O Ron Smeltzer.  This is just in from his wife Jane Tande:

Informing everyone that my husband, Ron, is in Ronald Reagan ICU fighting a severe case of meningitis. He contracted it after a routine nasal surgery to remove polyps. If not for the brilliant neurosurgeon who immediately put a drainage tube in Ron's skull/brain, he would not have survived the night!!!! Few days later, Ron had to undergo another surgery to close the hole leading to his brain that was allowing air to get to his brain. The operation was a success!!!! He is improving everyday. Thanks to all our neighbors, friends and family for all their love and support. You all have helped us tremendously while dealing with this nightmare experience. This is his loving girl, Christine, who has barely left his side.

Bob Hartl

Ron is currently a B-777 Captain in DTW:

Leo is at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

Here is the latest I have:

The surgery was a little more complicated than even the surgeon thought, few more things to repair, but shouldn't impede his recovery.  They think he'll be out of ICU tomorrow afternoon. Never seen so many tubes coming out from someone!!  Should take his breathing tube out tonight; his numbers looked good whatever that is.

God Bless Leo,

David W. Skjervn

I talked with Gail and Tom today and Tom is still in some high pain areas. They don't know when he can come home.

Several of you have tried to send Tom an email with no results. Tom does NOT have email in the the hospital but Gail does, so if you want to send him something while he is int the hospital use this email:

flygail44@gmail.com

If you want to send a card here is his home address. It would be nice if when he gets home there was a TON of cards. Tom is really one of the good guys from WAL.

Subject: Fwd: Our good friends recently retired  Capt Jim and Anita Hart need your prayers

Dear Mark and John,  I don't know how the Delta Pilot's group should respond to this news about our Delta Pilot classmate Mark, and retired ALT Pilot, John, ORD and ATL Delta Captain Jim Hart, but I wanted to pass this information along.  I am sure they could use a lot of help.   I am at a loss since we are so far away up here in ORD.  Maybe those in ATL can lend a helping hand.  David W. Skjerven 

 From: DWSkjerven@aol.com

Subj: Our good friends Jim and Anita Hart need your prayers

As most of you know our good friend Jim Hart had a brain tumor the size of a lemon removed from his head early this spring.  Jim went into chemo and radiation but by the end of the summer the tumor had grown back to about its original size.  So different chemo and radiation treatments are now being tried.  We have not heard if the new treatments are stopping the growth or not.  But Jim is having a tough time with vision, speech and thought patterns.

Anyway, we just heard from them and their son Brian who is about 25 years old was severely injured in an ATV accident this afternoon.  He is in a hospital in Athens, GA in intensive care with his back broken in 2 places, several other injuries and no feeling below his waist.  They are going to do surgery on Brian tomorrow or Monday.  Jim and Anita are there with him.

Caryn and I were going to go visit them there in Atlanta on Wednesday and Thursday of this coming week but have put that on hold unless they need us for anything.

Please keep Jim, Anita and their family in your thoughts and prayers,  David and Caryn Skjerven
