Ken Skinner has finally gotten his surgery scheduled for the DaVinci prostate procedure.  It is April 2.  However, since he has pre-op stuff to do and a couple of out of town Sidewinders tournaments, he will be turning in his shirt. Please keep Ken and Sharon in your thoughts and prayers.

Joe Holmes, frequent visitor to the ball field and occasional player (when he didn't have to work), is in Del Webb hospital, beginning therapy for a stroke suffered over the weekend. All our best to him and wife Sara.

Buster Dickenson suffered a rib injury in a nasty collision with another player in the Sidewinder Tournament this past week.  He's not sure when he will be able to swing a bat, but still enjoys coaching the bases for his team.

Don Kucharek continues to improve.  His neck mobility is about 75%.  His ribs about 95% healed.  The problem now is with the knee which was knocked into the steering column during the car accident.  In addition, the knuckles on 2 fingers of his right hand are still very swollen and he can't swing a bat or a golf club. Don is awaiting a decision from the insurance company about what to do with the knee.

Bobby Yates has been seen cruising the bench area following his prostate procedure.  He says he is doing well and certainly has a spring in his step to go with the smile on his face.

Joe DePhillips has been hospitalized for treatment.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
