Monday, April 25th Bill is going to Tampa to have part of his right lung
removed as well as a rib. He has sent info to the Fan Club newsletter, so
it will be known. I don't know about the MEDIA, who can mess up things
big time, but I would like to get a prayer chain started for a complete
recovery for Bill, and for Susan's comfort through this ordeal they are
going through. I went through similar surgery, and I had prayers all over
the U,.S. and some in England. I KNOW IT WORKED WITH ME, and this world
needs Bill Allred to Carry on the Music that we love. This world is void
of the music we help to preserve, and Bill can do it. Thanks for taking
time to read this. PLEASE DON'T LET THEM DOWN.....Fondly, Marge Ann.
