Neighbors,<br><br>I am sorry that I have been out of country in the past few days and have not been acting as a sentry at his post, but I feel from Steve's reports that our momentum is waning.<br><br>Let's not wait for town direction or leadership. I think concerned citizens should stop by the fire station and drop off a check to the department and leave a personal message, each person should consider what that is, to let Charles A. Ryan know that this town is standing by him in his most difficult battle.<br>
<br>I'm sure, that all of us have family members, no matter how many generations ago, have faced adversity in its purist form.<br><br>Let's show now, for those of the past and present, that we are all part of a community of caring people.<br>

<div>This is the update for Tuesday, April 12th.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><u>Just a friendly reminder that Chuck can not have ANY visitors.</u> As soon as he is able to have visitors, I'll let you know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Chuck had several hours of surgery today, which I understand went well. I do not know the details of the surgery at this time. He is back in his room and is resting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This evening, thanks to the efforts of Deputy Chief Robert Cease, the station provided dinner to the families of all of the DCFD members at Washington Hospital Center.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hopefully I'll have some more details tomorrow about the next steps for Chuck.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your continuing thoughts and prayers.</div>
