    I have a favor to ask of everyone. A good friend of mine and of many of you, Greg ”ReefRunner” Vandemark had his heart stop twice on Friday. Thank God he was at work [hospitol] when this happened. He now has a pacemaker to keep his heart working. They don’t know for sure yet what is causing the problem. He is back at home right now and will be going through alot of testing once he is stronger. We have all enjoyed his sharing on FTR and Greg is one of FTR’s new Field Staff members. I would like to please ask everyone to keep Greg in your prayers. This is a scary path for sure that Greg is on right now and he needs our prayers and needs to know that hes not alone with this. Please keep him before the Lord with your prayers. Thanks, Bill

    I have known Greg for 14 years as a member of the Walleye Searchers of Minnesota. There is not a kinder person out there, plus he’s a heck of a fisherman. I was saddened to read Bill’s post. Greg, here’s to a speedy recovery and hope to see you on the water as soon as possible.

    Greg:

    Keep your head up!!! You know full well the miracles that come from above through the work you do. Modern medicine, family, friends and a strong will to live on are great assets to have as well!!!

    God Speed and keep a tight line!!!

    Greg, I don’t recall if we’ve ever met face to face but here, we’re certainly well acquainted. All prayers and a speedy recovery!
