To those who may know Karen Barker, wife of Michael, our club's parts auctioneer at national conventions - she is recovering well after a kidney transplant. Karen had a transplant in the late 1970s and as anyone who's familiar with the process knows, the lifespan of a transplanted kidney is typically 20 years or less. So, to go almost 40 years is a miracle, and to find a match in her time of need is yet another blessing.
Karen will remain in the hospital for a day or two but expects to be back on the golf course as soon as the snow melts, or when the doctor says she can return to snowbirding in Florida, which ever comes first.
Just thought I'd pass along some good news!
