Ailing Burl
Please have Burl Barer www.adoraburl.typepad.com in your thoughts and prayers, Burl who like me was raised in Walla Walla is having surgery to have a couple stints put into his arteries. As near as I can tell, that means they will try to widen a couple of arteries to help take pressure off of his heart. A couple of weeks ago Burl had a heart attack while on the shuttle to the Sea Tac Airport. By the sake of a miracle the shuttle was making a stop at Valley General Hospital , perhaps the driver had notice Burl looking funny (no jokes now) and could tell something was not right, more than likely though, it was a devine coincidence because if he was further away and paramedics were summoned, he would not have made it. Burl's Dad (my uncle Dave) had a history of heart trouble that he fought valiently until 20 years ago when we lost him. I would like to see Burl kick the smoking habit. That is up to him, but we certainly do not want to lose our Burl.
Hi, I'm Burl, and I'm not dead yet.
ReplyDeleteActually it was Stevens Hospital, but a life saving procedure at any location is still a blessing. I am back in Santa Monica. I just finished STEALTH for Sony Entertainment -- I wrote a novel based on the screenplay for publication in Japan. I dont read Japanese, but I'm sure the translation will be excellentt.
Hey Burl...I just came across this website looking for info on you as I grew up in Seattle listening to you on KOL and also staring and drooling at you (I'm a girl by the way) at the Trolley Club in Seattle across the street from where the Martin Cinerama is...anyway I just wanted to let you know that I hope you're okay and doing fine with your new stents (I now have 8 in one artery - all due to smoking) and so far I'm doing okay...I survived a cardiac arrest in 2001 just a month before 911...So, Burl...here's to you...my thoughts and prayers are with you. Are you ever going to move back to Seattle? I didn't know you were an author and so I'll have to pick up one of your books to see if you're as good an author as you were a DJ and personality in Seattle. Love...Adele Hall
