IHRA: Important Gillig Family Information

3 November 1998

To squelch any roomers I thought it best to get online and write you about the status of my husband Bob. Thursday Oct. 29 Bob had a heart attack. He's in Cardiac Intensive care and stable. We are not sure of the extent of the damage to his heart as yet. Monday morning they will perform an angiogram (sp) to determine the extent of the damage and repair whatever can be repaired. He is in good spirits and doing as well as can be expected. Whenever I get a chance I will l write you as to his progress.

Please keep Bob in your prayers. We have all become so attached to you all through the racing seasons, and I felt that you should hear this from us and not from some outside uninformed course. I was quite amazed at some of the rumors that have come back to us about Bob's condition. Therefore I wanted to let you know myself.

Mrs. Bob Gillig
