Hi JeffH. thanks for the encouraging story about your father. It sounds corny but hearing about other peoples success stories in recovering is really encouraging. We have a guy at work who had a heart attack 18 years ago. he's 63 and walks every day. Its funny when the 25 year old techs get on a health kick and walk with him at lunch. None of them can keep up with the 63 year old for more than ten minutes!
Good Luck with your boat venture. Got the email and link and it sounds exciting.
