I am sending this appology to everyone who attended my sessions on pen turning at Provo this year. I know that I was often forgetful and at times was cantankerous to your questions. This was not my normal behavior, and definitely not the way I would normally respond to the questions from a demonstration audience.

The problem at the time was a loss of feeling and a limp in my right leg. Both were getting worse as the week went by. At the time I thought it was a pinched nerve from sitting for 11 hours on the trip from North Idaho to Provo. The truth was that I had a small stroke on my 1st night there.

I have been in physical therapy since getting back, almost back to normal feeling in the right foot and hand, now walking without a cane, and the memory of the past year is returning.

Please accept my appology for any bad behavior during my demonstrations.
 
So sorry to hear that Russ. Follow the advise of your physician and it sounds like you will have a full recovery.
 
I wish you a speedy and complete recovery, still waiting for you to make
