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.

NEW BOOTS - The Linesville VFW hosted a showing of the movie New Boots - narrated by Chuck Rudler of Linesville, who spoke of his serving in the Army during World War II including his time as a prisoner of war. Narrator and MC John Beagle said Rudler’s story is the story of thousands who served in that war. The film was made in the Linesville area with re-enactors from as far away as Columbus, OH, and St. Mary’s. It is a touching and deeply moving story attesting to man’s ability to survive horrendous conditions.
