I've just got back on the SMF after an absence of more than a year and learned of your problems when I did a search for "oldschoolbbq" only to find your post. I'm delighted that you made it through OK and that you are back amongst family and friends.
If it makes you feel any better, Temple, TX, is still going strong. They've started work on the part of I35 that goes through town and had to tear down the old Wilsonart plant. The construction has been ongoing for at least 2 years and is 3 or more years from completion. By the time they get it done it will be inadequate for the traffic load.
Stan, I'm glad that you are feeling better and on the road to a full recovery. I'm new here, but have seen many of your posts. Good luck and prayers for you, Joe
Glad you are back. I've reached that point in my life where I am much more appreciative for good health. When I hear stories like this I'm always amazed at the strength so many have when facing adversity. So kudos to you and your family for finding that strength to kick this thing in the butt.
