Name: Don E-mail: (Not Available) Subject: George Drape Update
I just spoke with Ellen Drape and as some of you know already, George is not doing well. He had his left leg amputated last summer and while at the VA hospital learning to use his prosthesis, they discovered he has cancer.
He`s leaving the VA hospital on Monday. The VA prognosis was very bad and both are hoping it`s wrong. George will be staying at home and on Thursday, Ellen will take him to Sloan Kettering for a second and hopefully better opinion.
If you want to call him before he leaves the VA hospital, his room phone # is 631-266-6504. George`s cell number is 516-816-2776 and it will be OK to call him when he`s home. Once he`s settled back at home, she thinks it would be fine for us to visit him.
Their home address is 2384 Hempstead Lane, Wantagh, NY 11793. As I hear more from Ellen, I`ll let you know what`s happening.
