David Schaef update: (12/05/23)

I spoke with David yesterday. He had just arrived at the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Erie.

There are still a couple of issues to resolve, and David is optimistic that Encompass has the skills. We didn't speak much of medicine and health, most of the conversation was about our subscribers and the Community News newspaper.

I was much encouraged by the tone of his voice and the idea he was interested in talking about Community News. So, he’s at that, “I want to get back to work” stage of healing.

He talked about his subscribers and a letter he is composing for them. He talked about how to proceed with the newspaper when he gets home.

He said he hopes to be home in 2 weeks.


Thank You all for your Love and Prayers and Well Wishes.

THE ATLANTIC Column

- Photo supplied

THE ATLANTIC column this week is about Dan Arnett's Hodgkin's lymphoma-to-climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro story. This photo is of Dan and his nephews, Nathan and Jared Downing, standing on Uhuru Peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Uhuru Peak is the tallest summit on the mountain. They are holding quilt squares with the Superman shield on them. Dan wore Superman pajama bottoms during his cancer treatments. Superman became a theme during his battle against Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The column is found on page 16, and two additional pictures are on page 11 and 23. Dan is a local man, who grew up in this area and graduated from Conneaut Lake High School.
