I had forgotten about Jeffery being killed.
But I now remember my mom talking about it.

Somebody please refresh my memory, Is Curtis Morgan the father of Jerald Morgan??

Jerald and I are both West Elk Class of 1986.  I had heard he had another heart attack, can anyone give an update on how he is doing?

[Janet Harrington]

Jerald did have another heart attack.  They put in a stent/stint and he is now back to work and going strong.

His mother, Louise, however; is not.  She is back in the hospital for the third time with a second stroke.  Louise needs heart surgery, but hasn't been strong enough to do it.  This second stroke has affected her right side, but I don't know to what extent.  I do know that she can talk and she knows who people are that come into the room.

Curtis had also had heart problems and before Jerald had his problem this last time, Curtis went through having a stent/stint or two put in.  He is doing well, also.

(I put the word stent/stint like I did because it can be spelled both ways.  A stent/stint is a wire mesh tube that is placed in the artery to keep the artery open after the artery has been cleared by angioplasty.)
