A happy surprise at Bingo tonight at the Mansion, Tim  returned from rehab after the amputation of his right leg. He is loving the G2 Canon camera we gave him, taking pictures like a fiend. He looks good, is in good spirits and much less pain.

He will go back to rehab shortly to be fitted with an artificial leg. This will hopefully make him mobile again. Tim is, as always, cheerful and upbeat and eager to talk. He loves taking pictures, as I suspected he would I’m eager to see some of them.

The camera cost $50, it is ten years old but works as if new, we got it online. A small act of great kindness, Tim is a creative, he is hooked on photography. I hope to get him to the farm so we can take some pictures together.

I”m glad to see Tim back. He loves to get letters, if you wish, you can write him c/o The Mansion, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
