For those who remember Art Hussey
Just a short update. I had a below the knee amputation on my left leg about a year ago. I received a prosthetic leg in June and have been learning to walk on it. I also lost my inner ear functions (vertigo) due to an antiseptic (vancomycan) and have very little sense of balance so need to walk with a walker. For the immediate future, I will not be able to travel to Europe due to this so have bought a Class A Motor home (a 40 foot Mandalay) and will be traveling the US and Canada some more. Am retired now so am selling my house and will be living in the RV to travel as much as I can.
Regards
Art Hussey

Hey Art! So glad you checked in! Sorry to hear about your medical problems, but it sounds as if they're not slowing you down too much. Let us know if you plan to drive through the Bay Area so we can arrange a mini-GTG. Merry Christmas!

Hi Art, I am so glad that you are not letting health obstacles stand in your way. It will be so nice to be able to travel around in your motor home and see North America.
Happy travels and keep us updated on your whereabouts!

Thanks for the update, Art. Glad to hear that you are still able and willing to travel, at least domestically. My in-laws are currently doing the RV thing as well, and loving every minute of it.
Take care of yourself and keep us updated from time to time.

Hi Art,
Yes, I do remember you and miss your posts!
I hope your adventures won't be like Jack Nicholson's in that movie w/Kathy Bates--someone help me with the title!
Hope you feel good and look forward to your posts on the US board.

It's great to know you are on the move again Art. Best of luck and enjoy your travels across NOrth America.
OWJ, it's "About Schmidt"...
Art, I'd be happy to join JudyC for a Toronto gathering if you are in the Toronto area.
Good luck.

Hi Art,
I had such a great time talking with you at the San Diego GTG and have been wondering about you. I'm glad to hear you're travel-bound once again. Will you have a laptop with you so you can keep us posted over on the US board?
I wish you the best of luck on your adventures.

I always remember how kind you were when I happened to post once from LA while visiting there, and you emailed to see if I wanted to attend a Fodorite gathering at your home. It was a kind and caring thing to do, and we greatly enjoyed the day.
Best of luck to you. It just shows you can't keep a good man down!

Good luck, Art. You were always helpful to me in your past postings. I am glad you are well and ready to keep on travelling. Good health to you in the New Year 2005. (2004 was a HORRIBLE year for me, so I am glad it is going to be over soon.)
Cheers,
John G.

Hey Art, Good to hear from you. Now you can be like Charles Kuralt and give us periodic stories of your travels from your RV. Try not to miss beautiful Amelia Island FL and historic Fernandina Beach and give me a holler before you come.
