A report as of 7/24

I did a little googling looking for info and found this on a graphics discussion group. Not exactly good news.

Here is the latest information I have on Fritz’s condition. I hope I have not overlooked anyone with whom I have been in contact.

Loren informed me last night that Fritz has had several up and down situations. He was called to Grand Junction on Friday because of the seriousness of his condition but when he got there Fritz had rallied to some extent. So basically it is day to day.

Unfortunately the broader assessment of his condition does not present an encouraging picture. At such time as he might be able to leave the hospital, Fritz will require attention that can only be given by an extended care facility. Loren is currently investigating the availability of them, probably in Durango. Any ability to return to Silverton is highly unlikely.

For the immediate future, NA Graphics remains open and doing business. While you may not be able to get the expert advice that you might have received from Fritz in the past, Rick is on the job and ready to fill orders. Loren is starting to think about the long-term disposal of the business and Fritz’s not small collection of equipment and other printing material. Please do not attempt to contact him directly at this time since he has just about all he can handle right now.

Although I have no specific medical information, Fritz has been moved to a care facility in Durango. He is undergoing evaluation for long-term care and a treatment plan.

I do not know Fritze, but we had mutual interests in printing and graphics besides railroads, as well as a mutual friend, so I have had an above average interest in checking on him.
