Prayers needed for Don Kennedy.

This Is what I know to this point unless MJ has new info. Last night Don called me (he usually calls about 2 - 3 times a week). We go way back to the 70's when we were both running SD Pontiac's in SS. When I answered, I had to rib him some because he usually calls earlier. So I said a smart _ss thing: "Isn't this past your bedtime?" There was a pause and then he said "I 'm in the hospital and I had a heart attack. They have put 2 stents in me. I was shocked and said stent work well and most are outpatient, so you are probably going home soon. He said no, I have to stay. Tomorrow (Friday) they are putting 2 more stents in or doing heart surgery." Thats what I know at this point. If I'm wrong and people have more precise info then I apologize ... I have called Don 2 times today and he did not answer, left a voice mail ... Hopefully he is just resting and recovering ... Bill
