[BKNY15] Touching Base

[Dale Petruska]

Hello, my Brothers and Sisters … my prayers go out to you and your loved ones’ for GOD’s Protecting Hand and Guidance, during these extraordinary times!
I’m pleased to read the many responses to our “How you Doing” email, that Marc sent out. But, we'd really like to hear from all our members, so if your not much for sharing,  just send us a simple “10-4 or an OK or even just a 👍”, but if you have an observation or brief funny story … send it!   i.e. like, your wife pulled a knife on you … and told you go watch TV or get out of the house!? Perfect!

I’ve recently reached out and spoke to some of our members, Please keep them in your prayers: 
*	Tony (Past Pres.) … he has been experiencing terrible neck pain, due to herniated discs and was actually scheduled for 2 surgeries (before the shut-down), one a cervical fusion, for his neck, the 2nd a hernia operation. I spoke to him yesterday, and he is in good spirits, but in pain.
*	Vinnie & Patty Marocco (Hon) were both in the Hospital 4 weeks ago … Patty was fortunate and returned home 3 weeks ago … but Vinnie needed more time due to Respiratory & Liver complications, etc. But the great news is .. Vinnie returned home about a week ago and is completing his recovery at home surrounded by family.
Spoke to Vinnie yesterday as well!
*	Allan Labbe (Hon), has been experiencing on going hip pain … and apparent need of Hip Replacement Surgery, and continued ankle & foot problem … but most heartbreaking is “Harley” his longtime pup (13yrs) is in his last few days, adding to Allan's misery & pain! 
Keep each in your thoughts … and shoot them a message of a brief phone call … to say hello!

As always, if you are in need of assistance or a helping hand  please don’t hesitate to call or send a msg. Remember you have a BKNY15 Brother & Sister, not too far away!!

As for me, many of you know … I am still working and the COVID-19 demands have been over-whelming. The East Hampton PD is maintaining a 15% Officer Exposure to the Virus. As a Marine Patrol Officer (31yrs+) my Command has “voluentold ” our division to work extended tours (12 hr. days), and encourage a 6th work day, due to our explosion of visitors from NYC, Rentals & Collage Kids. It never seems to be enough! Ha!  These are some Kooky Times! 

So for those retirees or those quarantining at home … I’m expecting that when we resume our Club Rides … those Bikes will be Shining like new!! Perfect for a group photo!

Stay Safe, Stay-In -Touch … and Wash your Hands!!
