THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FROM MIKE WILLIAMS:

Bob Hall's surgery of a few days ago, is progressing well. The 6" incision from the top of his left shoulder down the inside of his arm. The sutures were well placed and should heal well leaving only a slight scar; However, the pain is somewhat intense.

Bob receives in-home therapy which is going well. He is scheduled to see his surgeon today in hopes of being allowed more mobility.

Bob and Stephanie state that they are very grateful and appreciative for our concern, support, love & prayers and ask that we please continue since he has a long, painful and difficult recovery ahead.

Fellow Blue Knights,

It is with great sadness that we must advise all of passing of the Founder of the Blue Knights, Ed Gallant, transferred to the Heaven 1 chapter. A very modest and humble man who loved the Blue Knights, it was his idea to start the club in 1974.

What began as a single chapter with 7 members has grown to almost 16,000 members, 599 chapters, in 31 countries. Ed nor any of the Founding Fathers had any clue it would ever get to where it is today.

Please keep his lovely wife Maggie and Ed’s family in your thoughts and prayers. He is now riding again with fellow Heaven 1 chapter members and Founding Fathers Doug Minor, Joel Rudom, Chuck Gessner, and Bill Robinson. Thank you for your friendship and rest in paradise Ed you'll be missed.

Past International President
