I inadvertently found out that Roy Robbins is having emergency eye surgery today. I hope everything goes well-Good luck! and I hope to see you back on The Crypt boards soon. Steve

Steve & whomever: Roy complained of vision problems in Austin, which turned out to be a detached retina. He had laser surgery I believe yesterday, and is resting quietly now. But he has a gas bubble in that eye now. Not sure how serious that might be. I'll pass along whatever I find out. Gene

Damn, if you talk to him, let him know I, well, all of us over here are sending the most positive thoughts his way.

Will do, Chris. I'm in contact with one of his close friends, who I hope passes along info. Gene

Damn, didn't know this. I was lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with Roy over the WHC weekend all of which I enjoyed, so I hope this is just a minor blip for him.

All best wishes for Roy. I had a great time visiting with him in Austin. I much appreciate his allowing a couple of us to stash our books behind his tables while we were getting signatures. He's good people.
