Well, we will find out Friday morning just what makes this guy tick. Seriously though, Rob Rohr is undergoing heart surgery in the morning in Baltimore.
I know the ever opinionated Col. has many friends (and a few not so friendly) around these parts and He said it was ok if I passed the word around. As some of you know he is a close friend so were keeping him in our prayers.

I'm just hoping the hospital has an IV that will handle a Moxie Bottle...

Wishing success with your surgery and quick mending, Col.!

(I've never drunk Moxie, but I saw someone try it on TV once...)

Rob,

Bernadette and I wish you all the best and are pulling for you. Fond memories from Geneseo when we hunted down the Catalina in the barn. Sleeping in the same dorm room…not so much :lol:

Cheers,

Eric
