Professor Pete McMickle

[Bill DeShivs]

Anyone who ever read the old Automatic Knife Newsletter will remember Professor Pete. He is the man with all of the wonderful Sheffield switchblades that were featured therein.
Pete is a Fellow Memphian and a very good friend of mine. He just had his 82nd birthday and had major heart bypass surgery 2 days later. Pete is on a ventilator and has had to be revived twice. His condition has not improved (or worsened) in the past 3 days.
I'm asking for prayers for Pete. He is a fine man, a good friend of mine and the automatic knife community, and he needs them.

Just got word that Pete had a stroke and there is nothing they can do surgically because of the recent operation.
More prayers.

I'm pretty new at this prayer stuff, But been trying for awhile. I will try the best I know.

[Bill DeShivs]

I'm proud of you, Terry.

[Tom19176]

Additional Prayers sent. Terry, it works.....

[Bill DeShivs]

Tough old guy is still going. They are trying to wean him off the heart/lung machine. Brain swelling from the stroke is under control.
He's still a very sick man, but this is the first "good" news.

[Tom19176]

Glad to hear there is some good news Bill....
