Message from Tom Niebuhr
« on: February 17, 2014, 05:28:51 PM »
Hello every one,

I have been overwhelmed by the concern and prayers from the stunt fraternity since my heart attack. I have received hundreds of calls and messages from all over the world. I cannot thank you all enough.

I am also praying for Allen and his family. I was informed while I was in ICU.

I am dropping the "Blue Sky Models" web site since my health problems. I will still be doing graphics, and MAYBE some special jobs like ribs, but since I have not built a PAMPA ship for myself in 15 yrs., it is about time I did something for myself.

Glad to hear you are recovering.  When you build your new ship, post photos for us to enjoy the build with you.

Well, Tom, it sounds like you're doing better and that makes me happy!  Prayers and best wishes on your recovery!  We need you around for a good while longer.  Give our love to Linda, I know she will take good care of you.

Hey Tom; Cardiac rehab will get you back on your feet fast. I went thru a heart valve replacement and a double bypass a couple of years ago and you will probably feel much better than you have in years. Hang on to that heart pillow, I still have mine signed by all the nurses and Dr's.

Hey Tom, as I tell the people you must take care of your self first.  It was great to see you last Saturday at the field and I thought you looked great for what you had been through.   Also you need to spend more time with the wife while you can.   Hope to see you again and take care of your self.

Tom-

'very happy to hear that your up and improving. I'll look forward to hearing of and seeing your projects. I'm sorry to hear that Blue Sky's down, but you're right. There's only one life, and it's time to do something for yourself.
