100822 - Gig Harbor, Washington

August 22, 2010
Gig Harbor, Washington
Since our plans had not been well defined, it was on short notice that I told Mort we were heading his way. Mort Altman and I did our surgical residencies together in San Francisco a long time ago. My timing to visit turned out to be bad because he had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had undergone Divinci Robotic surgery successfully just a few weeks ago. In addition to that, he had just sold his house and bought another one and was in the process of moving, although he admitted he was actually doing the directing instead of lifting. We spent dinner bringing each other up to date on our lives and events. He took me to this great BBQ rib place.
That was all the time he could spare and I know he was still worn out recovering from the surgery.

While at the RV Park in Gig Harbor, one of our neighbors, Steve, saw us scootering around and offered to wash our RV windows. I thought that was a terrific offer and the next day, bucket and long handled brush in hand, he showed up and scrubbed us clean. He did all of the windows and body in the front and along the sides as well.

I love RV people. Thank you Steve.
