Skipper Smith has heart attack

[Bob Dunlap]

More bad news from the Smith family. Skipper had a heart attack last week. They did the angioplasty and put in one stint, he was in ICU for 3 days and went home yesterday. The right side of his heart has damage and is not functioning so he is in bad shape. Keep Skipper and Vicki in your prayers.

Well i talked to Skipper yesterday and he sounded like the same old Skipper i have come to know. Vicky decided he needed some special therapy. So she got on the phone and had Jack Stotts from Texas fly in with some of that longhorn medicine he provides when perscribed. And if that wasn't enough she also called in Wild Man Bill Walker too. Now wild Bill has been saving this majic medicine in the back of his van that he only brings out on when he feels it is really nessasary . I hope it works as good as those Brown Water Cherries he gave me at Camden. Anyway its nice to see the boat racing family taking care of one of the boat racing saint's. Keep up the good work Vicky.

Yesterday, Bill Walker and I drove down to Orlando to see Skipper, Vicki and Matt. We had lunch with the racing Smiths [48 - F] Poppa Smith looking well. Also attending the lunch was his cousin and husband, a retiered World War Two B-17 pilot at the young ages of 94 and 96 ! Regards...... Bill's

Bill you had better get the boat number right or Vicky will be after you. Did you guys get into Wild Bills cherries again? 78-F is the proper number. Mikey
