    MKatz has surgery July 11th

    I received a message from Mark's wife, Ethel:

    "Surgery over, Mark is in ICU at least until sometime tomorrow. Dr. Hart was quite optimistic and feels Mark a good candidate for faster than typical recovery. It was a long day, but feel it was the right thing to do. Will keep you posted on his progress. "

    I met with Mark once, and Ethel and Mark another time at their condo. Mark has an awesome attitude. He will do well.
