Author: Tom Clark

You may remember that our colleague Bjorn Engen had a coronary "incident"
about 6 months ago and was recovering well. This morning "The Bear" sent me
this note reporting that he will have bypass surgery next week:

> Dear Tom,
> 
> After months of almost normal life and no indications on weakness, a special
> X-ray investigation last week showed two "rusty tubes". I am scheduled for a
> by-pass operation on 28th March with a week in hospital. After that they
> estimated 4-6 weeks for recovery but then there could be time to start
> looking at other challenges.
> 
> Just now it is "full ahead" into new and unknown waters. See you sometimes
> during the summer.

If you want to send message by mail, I would suggest that his wife Elsa
will be happy to take them to him -- his home address is:

     Bjorn Engen
     Bloomsterveien 16
     3500 Honefoss
     NORWAY

If you want to send a note by Email, I would suggest that you send it via
his secretary, Grete Gronlie, at

     mailto://grete.gronlie@statkart.no
