Rich Friedmann update 1/27:   Deb spoke to Rich on Tuesday evening. He is home from the hospital and doing well. The doctors kicked him out of the hospital on Friday because he was in such good shape from his running.

Rich is looking at a 6-8 week recovery, which is surprisingly short given the 6 artery bypass. He can run again and is looking forward to seeing club members in a few months.

Rich said to thank you for all the well-wishes, cards and visits.
