| I am writing to y'all to see if you could write an article on
my father. His name is L G. Rich and he has worked on the railroad [CSX] around 26 years.
He worked in the B&B Department from Nashville to Memphis. He has served as a board
member and local chairman for eight years. In December of 1996, he had a heart attack
and underwent open-heart surgery. In December of 1997, he was put on the heart transplant
list. He has been able to stay at home until February of this year. He was admitted to the
hospital on February 1, 1999 where he is now waiting for a heart transplant.
I would like to know if y'all could put his address in the Journal?
ATTN :
Lindon Rich, Room 7017B
Vanderbilt Hospital
1121 22nd Street
Nashville, TN 37232
Some of his family and friends have opened a heart transplant fund for him. If anyone
wishes to send a donation, they can do so at:
ATTN :
Gailon Rich Heart Transplant Fund
Bank of Huntingdon
19685 Main Street, E.
Huntingdon, TN 38344
Any card, letter, phone call, prayer or donation is greatly appreciated. He really
enjoys cards and phone calls from his "Railroad Buddies."
Thank you,
Vickie Decker
Bruceton, TN
(Brother Rich, age 59, joined the BMWE on May 27, 1971, and is a member of Local Lodge
676, Allied Eastern Federation.) |
