Dear Mike, I was sorry to read in the Editorial of my latest PT (which reached me a couple of days ago) that you had had to have surgery. I hope you are recovering well. If the States is anything like here, hospitals are very different places these days with very different protocols and procedures. (I had an eye operation a couple of weeks ago now.)
I always enjoy your magazine arriving. Yes, I get a lot of my model information these days on the internet. But I still love having a hard copy magazine arriving for me to pore over at leisure. (And nice to have the lenticular T. rex dinosaur stamps you attached too! I have very few dinosaur stamps, not a collection as such at all, but nice to have a few more to tuck away.) I'm glad to hear you donated to the Friends of Crystal Palace dinosaurs - I leapt for my computer too when the news about the latest damage broke. I was fortunate enough to see them in person getting on for two years ago now. Best wishes, Elizabeth Pendleton, Hertfordshire, UK
You are so sweet, Elizabeth. Yes I have recovered pretty much fully from my gall bladder operation. I can’t play the piano or run the 4 minute mile now but then I couldn’t do it when I still had my gall bladder either, ha. Like I said in my editorial last issue the worst part was staying in the hospital for almost a week afterward. I had a great room to myself and super great nurses and doctors but it wasn’t home, ya know? Oh, and yes, everyone, please go to Cpdinosaurs. org and donate a little paypal to save the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs in England. We can’t lose that site - editor
