Prayers Thoughts & well wishes are needed for Rick Martin. He is in ICU with his body full of infection & we almost lost him last nite, Sunday evening. The ER doctor said he could not of made it to this AM .Rick has had some surgey several weeks ago and it has been an up hill battle for him since then. What he did this past week is what a lot of us do & put it off till tomorow and sometimes that is too long before we give up & seek help. One good example is myself this spring ,but I have learned my lesson. He is scueled for gull bladder surgey Tuesday at noon ,since he has no family, my wife & I & several other y-blockers inc. Bob Martin are going to be there for him before he goes in and when he comes out of surgery. We seen him today & he was worried. He is going to be in the hosiptal several days not because of his operation but to get his body cleaned out. It would help if a few people could some him some car relaated cards to help cheer him up Fort Hamilton Hospital 630 Eaton Ave. Hamilton Ohio 45013 @ Richard Martin 513-867-2000 Note after John F. and Jerry C ,Rick Martin was the third person to make up The first Y-Block geathering At Coulmbus Ohio about 15 + years ago Harry Hutten

My prayers go out to Rick. All my Y friends' prayers have pulled me though my recent surgery, and now they need to help Rick. I was thinking the other day, we have at least a couple of "men of the cloth" in our group, Dan the "Hot Rod Reverend" and "Y block 32 deuce". It's like we have our own unofficial chaplains. Get well soon, Rick.

Want him to be around for many,many more races and brain pickin sessions.

After 2 + hours cut him open operation Rick is still with us. Dr. told us serious but gaurded condition.The next few days are going to tough. The reason for the long Gull Blader operation is there was a lot of infection to clean out. Dr said not to worry about his perferated bowel , because if things don`t clear up the bowel won`t matter and I think we know what that means. Rick was not in good sprits this AM so I hope he gets a lot of car realted cards or talk about Lincolns Will keep everyone posted Thanks Harry

Tried to call the hospital last eve. He has no phone, but they patched me thru to the nurses station and they relayed messages to him.
