Don, don't be in too big a hurry to get things done. Don't forget you own health scare in the not so distant past. Everyone admires your devotion to your friends, but you can't help them if you don't take care of yourself first. Heart damage doesn't cure itself overnight.
Sorry to hear about Bill's accident. Seems as though professional sports, particularly football, is starting to view concussions in a whole new light. That's a good thing, as it will make more people aware of the dangers involved with even minor (if there is such a thing) concussions.
