Richard’s Health Update

On Monday, January 9th, Richard’s wife Jenny told Almaguin News, “Richard took a huge leap forward this morning.”

This tremendous news comes just under two weeks after Richard’s terrible highway accident on Highway 11.

Richard is breathing on his own and is able to move his arms. Doctors hope to perform an operation on his pelvis shortly.

Editor’s Note:

While Richard Thomas is recuperating in hospital, Almaguin News will reprint some of his columns from over the past 18 years.

We’ll try to bring some of Richard’s gems, although some say they are all gems. If readers have any requests, let us know and we’ll try to track the particular column down.

This week we bring — what else? — Richard’s very first column in Almaguin News under the heading ‘Ask a Dumb Question’.

It ran on January 28, 1987. The column was later changed in name to the present day’s And Another Thing...

The intro under ‘New Column’ appeared in the same issue.
