Roger has a Caring Bridge site.  You can visit the site and go to viisit and type in rogerneumann (one word).  His surgery will be at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning (11/4).  Again, we thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers.  Roger is in good spirits.
The Neumanns      We will get the bugs out of the 1975 Rupp 340 FA so he can run Eagle River in 2011. He will be 75

Roger was in very good spirits before surgery.  All of his children and spouses, along with his wife Lois were at his bedside to wish him well.  He went into surgery at 6:30 AM and was out at 1:00 PM.  Roger is quite a super guy - came through his triple bi-pass surgery with flying colors.  He has a long road ahead of him, but the surgery went very well.  The next couple of days will be the worst.  We can't express how excited he was to see all of your emails - especially yours Armand.  That really has meant a lot to him.  We have finally gotten him on a computer.  He may be hooked!!!  He could not express enough how good it made him feel to have so many fellow snowmobilers wish him well.  Know part of that helped him through this surgery.  He knew he has a lot of unfinished races waiting for him.  Eagle River in 2011 is his goal.  He just found out the day of his heart attack from Mike Meagher that there is a class for him.
He is looking forward to seeing all of you at the VOLS, Sleds, Wolf Lake, ROLA and Hetteen Cup Races this season.
Another request - please pray for it to stop raining so that he can get his beans out!!!
God Bless.

Hey Ol-Timer,

Glad to hear you made it though today with no issues, Randy when I stopped in Tuesday during my lunch hour I put vintage sleds in the favorites on Rogers room PC and showed him how to minimize the page leave it open and just refresh button. I'm sure you gave him more instruction its hard when one doesn't use it regular.

I gave Ol-Timer some much needed hassle as well, I asked the nurse if the Ol-Timer was being a good guy, she said yeah he's being really good, I told her OK you let me know if I have to get tough!!! I'll belt him around if I have too!! wink...wink..

Hey Ol-Timer get some rest and recover fast, if you have a hard time sleeping, try counting white tail deer...
