Jim and Betty:
Christina and I both hope Jim is home by now, resting and taking it very easy. Listen to what Betty and your Doctor’s say Jim. I know from experience that if you don’t listen to what your wife says,
you more than likely will get yourself into trouble. Stay safe and get well soon. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too. Unfortunately, I won’t be at the SBE Christmas Party this year. When you’re better Jim, I’d like to hear about your latest Broadcast adventures. Last time I was a VETCO, I recall seeing the long wire on the roof, but I also recall the guy behind the counter saying he didn’t know anything about your station!
73 and best wishes Jim and Betty.

Dear friends,

I am asking that your prayers and positive thoughts for a prompt and full recovery be directed toward our SBE brother & Chapter 16 Vice Chair, Jim Dalke.

Jim has been in & out, and is now back in, the hospital fighting an aggressive strain of E. coli.  Present timing looks like Jim will be hospitalized until Monday or Tuesday (12/4-5), then home for recuperation.

Jim will then be returning to the hospital daily for blood tests and IV antibiotics to assure they are fending-off the nasty bacteria.  After his previous cycle in the hospital for E. coli, a similar treatment plan had been followed for a couple of weeks, but unfortunately there was a resurgence of the bacteria.

Jim's wife, Betty, reports that Jim is "sleeping a lot" at the hospital and wants to get back into "Action Mode" as soon as he's able.  Heck, that's the only way I've always known Jim to be - ready to go, go, go!

Let help lift Jim's spirit by posting a few kind messages to let him know we are rooting mightily for his return to good health.

Sincerely thanking you and wishing you all well in this Holiday Season.

Marty Hadfield, CPBE
