The following has been printed in the June 2009 issue of The Linking Ring:

John Calvert had a mild stroke on Tuesday, April 28, at the home of Ray and Ann
Goulet. He received immediate treatment and has amazed doctors with his positive attitude
and quick recovery. He is currently in rehab and expects to be back to normal very
soon. Mr. Calvert’s wife, Tammy, reported that he kept the hospital’s medical staff
entertained and while talking to his doctor did a watch steal on the attending nurse!
If you would like to send greeting cards to the Calvers, write to them in care of Ray
and Ann Goulet, 118 Marshall Street, Watertown, MA 02472.
