George Applebay in Hospital

[Steve Leonard[_2_]]

About a week ago, George Applebay had an accident while working in the
Library at the US Southwest Soaring Museum. He and a book case
tangled and George ended up with some broken bones and a good bump on
the head. He has been moved from the hospital to a Rehab Center. He
is currently at:

Albuquerque Heights Healthcare and Rehab Center
Room 104
103 Hospital Loop NE
Albuquerque, NM 87109
505-348-8300

A get well card, wishes for a Merry Christmas, or just some notes from
friends would be much appreciated, as he will likely be in the rehab
facility for a while. At 84 years of age, you just don't heal as
quickly as you did when you were younger.

I have not spoken with him, but I understand he is doing well but is
being given a fair amount of medication to control the pain from the
broken bones and surgery. Cards and letters would probably be best
for now.

Thanks for posting this Steve.

I hear he's facing four months of therapy and hope it all goes well.
For those with projects at Applebay Aviation, I'm told George's son
Darren is an IA and has been working with George since summer.
