Bill Haithcoat's Health Condition

[pennyk]

Bill Haithcoat, a long time and extremely knowledgeable AU member, has had a health set-back and is currently in a rehabilitation facility. According to his sister, with whom I have been in email contact, Bill likely will move to an assisted living facility in the future. Bill hopes that he will be able to attend future AU events and further hopes to meet with AU members who pass through Atlanta, as he has done in the past. I do not have any details regarding the medical condition.

I do not know when Bill will have access to the forum. However, I, together with all the AU staff, wish Bill a speedy recovery and a quick return to the forum.

Get well soon my friend!

Seconded. I had a very nice chat with him at the Gathering in Chicago.

Best wishes and prayers to him and his family.

Best wishes from me, as well. I enjoyed meeting him at the Chicago Gathering and hope to see him at future Gatherings.

Hope you get better Bill.

If you've never met Bill, he is an encyclopedia of former passenger rail routes. Probably the most knowledgeable person I know.

Oh no Mr. Bill!

Seriously though I hope you recover quickly.

The forum just isn't the same without your knowledge.

According to Bill's sister...

Bill's health is improving and he thanks everyone for the well wishes.
