Thursday, May 08, 2008 Death of Jim Kelley With regret and sadness I forward the following information that was received from Mike McCaffrey: Quote I just received a phone call from Gisela Kelley, wife of retired Communicator Jim Kelley, stating that Jim had passed away last Thursday at their home in Texas. This is all the information I have right now, the call was on our voice mail and we were out. We served with Jim in both Bonn and Tokyo, and Jim and I were from the same hometown: Lowell, Mass. I hope to be able to assist Gisela in forwarding an obituary to STATE Magazine. Mike McCaffrey Unquote Those of you wishing to send condolences to Gisela the following is furnished: Gisela Kelley Saturday, May 10, 2008 Back earlier in the year I reported to you all that retired DASC Willis Naeher had fallen on the car train on his way to vacation in Florida. He was rushed to a hospital in North Carolina and spent several days there until he could recover enough to return to his home in Virginia. Yesterday I received an up-date on how Will is doing from his wife, Doris. As you know Will has been recovering from his fall in February and was getting his strength back and doing quite well. However, he had a setback a week or two ago by falling asleep and I couldn't wake him up. I called 911 and they took him to the ER and was admitted overnight. Things straightened themselves out and they discharged him the next day. However, the day after that the same thing happened and he was again taken to the hospital. They did all kinds of tests and couldn't find a problem. He's been home now a week and after being on his back for three days he lost a lot of strength that he had gained. We have to start again from square one and hope that he will get stronger again. Please think of us. Incidentally, we have about 250 e-mails still unread. If any of you have us on your "undisclosed recipients" list please take us off for the time being. The following is furnished for those of you who wish to send Will get well wishes: Wilis E. Naeher
Tuesday, May 13, 2008 The following information on the status of David W. Smith was received from Robert Surprise: Thought you might like to know David W. Smith's latest condition. His cancer, which had been in remission, has flared up again. I received the following information from David: I finished radiology about a week ago along with chemo treatments. My mouth feels like hell and it becomes difficult to swallow. Medical informs me that it will come back in a couple of weeks. I have temporary given up on my book as I spend each day at the hospital trying to get some fluids to sustain myself. When I get home in the evening I am tired. While I have an active interest at what you all are doing, please forgive me if I am not responsive. Hopefully all this will inform in the next couple of weeks. Take care, David The following is furnished for those wishing to send David get well wishes: David W. Smith
