We Will Be Awaiting Your Return Hal
Apr 29th, 2007 by Don Ray
I just received the following email from my friend Hal (aka The father of the BookMark).
Going into hospital Monday am, to start radio and chemotherapy; at this point, I don’t know if I will be inpatient or outpatient, but will probably be offline for some time (up to five weeks)…will see how it progresses…on the other hand, I may be bored to tears and write everyone three times a day (I hope).

Hal, I can tell you that all of us wish you a safe trip to Panama City and you will be in our thoughts and prayers. We will be anxiously be awaiting your return to Dolega. In the meantime, we will try to keep the coffers full at the BookMark by reading a lot of books.
Your friend,
Don Ray

Nice blog. We Boquetanos know Hal and also wish for his speedy recovery.
My wife and I met you at the airport in David. I promised to check in here at your blog and now I have done so. Looking forward to reading more.
My own literary endeaveors, if blogs can be called such, have a humorous bent. Feel free to check them out if you are so inclined. woowoogolf.blogspot.com should get you there.
Hi Doc. Thanks for dropping in. It was a pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife the other day at the airport. I will definitely check out your literary endeaveors.
Hal, my thoughts and prayers are with you, also. I only stopped at your store once, but enjoyed it very much. Speedy recovery to you and return well and whole. Don, thanks for your chiriqui chatter. It has lots of friendly info that has helped make the transition to a foreign county not quite so foreign.
Hi Cindy. Thanks for your nice comment and good wishes for Hal.
Have visited Hal on our three trips down there, and plan on visiting again when we move down in March. Still need those gardening type books..All the best Hal.
