George Hurst up date:

I just got off phone with Keven, he said George had to have a triple bypass and is resting in ICU recovery at this time. Keven said if things remain well he should be going home in about 5 or 6 days. Please keep him in your prayers! if you wish to send cards or letters please send them to his home.

All,

You may have seen the responses in the original string about the results of George Hurst's surgery. Just in case you didn'ty here's the latest.

He did have a triple bypass and he came through it with flying colors. They will be monitoring him for any complications for the next few days and making sure he's resting. Which many of you know, ain't like George. God has answered the many prayers that have been offered in his behalf, but don't stop now. He'll need our prayers daily as he works toward recovery and getting back up to speed. Jane, Keven and the rest of the family are exhausted but doing well. Remember them too.

God bless you all,

Dave Smith

Dave, keep us posted as to his recovery. God does look after us leather crafters as well as the rest of the folk in the world. You had better make up some quick restraining straps to tie him to his bed before he hurts himself more.

Hi all, I spoke with Jane (his wife) just after the surgery, and she too said all went well. Hi Dave Smith. Thanks, Steve

George is high on my list of wonderful people. God has been very exceptionally good to the wonderful people on my list lately, and I know He is watching over George. None of us are through with George yet, especially Jane, and we all want him to stick around for a long time to come. I know all the prayers and cards he is receiving will boost his spirits, and he will be good as new in no time. I want to thank those of you who are praying for George.

God Bless, Kathy

Hi Everybody,

I've been trying to think of ways to let George know how much he is loved. All the cards and flowers tell him so, but most of us can't drop by to say hi in person. Smiles and laughs help heal the body as much as anything. I bet a lot of us have cute stories to tell about George that would bring back fond memories for him and bring a smile to his face. Every time I'm around George, a smile comes to my face. Here's one memory that I am particularly fond of:

I had given Akiko Okada a ride to Sheridan from Denver one year. At the end of the show, before we were ready for the drive back, Akiko wanted to help George pack up his booth for Hide Crafters. While the three of us were packing boxes, I began to feel out of my league, for those two were talking in Japanese. George is fluent in the language. Then I heard the words "Don't touch my moustache" among all the Japanese. Akiko's face about split with a huge smile and she began to laugh uncontrollably. It turns out "Don't touch my moustache" sounds an awful lot like the Japanese for "you're welcome". To this day, I still can't say "you're welcome" the proper way, I can't get around "Don't touch my moustache".

If you have a cute story to cheer up George with, share it here. We'll figure out a way to let George see them all and bring some joy to his recovery room.

Thanks!

Kathy

LOL! I don't think I could beat that one!

I just remember his kindness helping me out with supplies for a 4H Leatherworking Club I volunteered with up in PA. He sent videos and swivel knives FREE to our group. The kids really appreciated it.
