UPDATE #3 ON DAD
from Rob and Bill Hammond

Well, it isn't what Dad wants as "Home", but we are pleased that Dad has now moved to the St.Joseph's Home for the next level of recovery.

Dad has come a long way and has a long journey ahead. His mind is coming back and although, short term memory can be spotty, he does remember a lot. The next step is physiotherapy and learning to get into a wheel chair.

He is now in Room 130.

This area is accesible by proceeding along the drive on the North side of the main building to the two story section at the rear of the property. Enter through the door at the North end (right). There is metered parking in front of the building.

When visiting Fred be ready for one of those famous HC hand shakes... they are still as strong as ever. Since Ham Radio has been much of Fred's life, visits from fellow Radio Amateurs will be an important part of his recovery.
