Bill McEwen - son in hospital
« on: October 22, 2006, 10:54:08 PM »
The reason for Bill not being able to attend yesterday's AmiWest was his son being hurt in a hockey game and that his son was brought to a hospital.

Bill had the terrible misfortune of loosing his daughter a few years ago.

I think it would be a good idea for the community here to come up with some sort of virtual get well card. What could we do? How would we get in touch?

I know it's short notice, is there something we could come up with for Monday? I just think it would be something nice for him to face Monday mornign instead of a bunch of angry flames for not attending.

What do you think?

If you can get hospital details, I will help in any way possible.

-Edit-

You know what, I removed the last part of my coment above. Something I'll rather not speculate on. Best wishes to Bill's son.

I have asked Wayne if he has any ideas as he seems to know how to contact him.

I send him all of my best wishes! I hope that everything will be okay now. Even though I might disagree with things he says or do, I respect him for who he is. All credits and I hope that it all turns the positive way.

Sorry to hear his kid was hurt, but I'd like to know:

1. Did the child even stay at the hospital?  So far what I've read, he went to the hospital, which is typically a cover_your_ass move involving any sport injury.  Staying at the hospital is a different story entirely.
2. Did anyone confirm this story?
3. How old is the child?

This is Mr."On Schedule and Rock'ng!" we are talking about.

@Thread

I send my best wishes and thoughts for Bills' son.

Of course Bill will be upset at this time by the recent news about Gary Peake.
I am thinking of them all and send my best wishes.
