Hi Guys...

Yesterday I gave our friend Tom Niebuhr a call to see how he’s been doing and to also brush up on some hobby things and such and to my surprise the voice on the other end did not sound too good. At first I was barely able to hear him and at times I could hardly understand some of his words.

As we continued to chat Tom told to me that he has been bed ridden for quite some time (I think he said a few months), this is because he has lost the use of his legs. He also stated that he has bed sores from being in bed for so long. He said he does not have a lot of strength and sleeps a lot but Tom has asked for our prayers.

Tom said it was okay for me to let our hobby family/community know that he has been suffering with these health issues but since I had such difficulties hearing him at times, I would rather leave out all of the other details he mentioned and just let his other hobby family/friends share himself, so please guys, give Tom Niebuhr a call and help raise his spirits.

Tom’s number is: 469-450-7093

I don't know Tom, but that doesn't matter in the slightest. Prayers for him and his family have been sent.

Just an FYI, Tom called me yesterday. He is still pretty down mentally, but i think he sounds better.
Physically still has a long road ahead

Tom,

We are all pulling for you. Wishing that the new year gives you relief from your health
problem, and that you will be back on your feet and feeling good very soon.

We want to see you holding the Top Cat, and preparing to fly at the Nats just like
this photo from the 2001 Nats.

Good luck and best wishes for the New Year.

Cheers.

Hi Guys...

Is there any Texas flyer near Tom Niebhur that can get us an update on Tom.

I have been trying to reach him but it seems his phone has been disconnected
and I have no way of reaching him.

Please help.

I visit my dear friend Tom on a regular basis. He is in a hospital in Plano. We sit and talk about future plans we have together in the stunt circle.

Would like to send Tom a card, unless Tom doesnt want cards. Can you share hospital mailing address?

I will find out from his daughter if that is okay.

Thanks Milton for the info. Next visit tell him DOC is still flying his designs. Had to do a repair on the Hobo after a flame out in a bad position.
