Hey David.  Great to see you back here on the forum.

The current address for cards and gifts is:
Gary Browning / Patient
Kindred Hospital-Dayton
1 Elizabeth Place
Room 510
Dayton, OH 45417

.

I think it would be a fantastic gesture if everyone sends him another get well card. The funniest one you can find. I'm running to Hallmark!

I sent another one yesterday, but it was mostly just cheerful, as opposed to funny.  I did stick an Old School 3 sticker inside it though, so hopefully he'll get a kick out of that.

Curiosity is getting the better of me, it would be nice to know what Topps had sent if they sent anything at all?

When I spoke to his daughter, she didn't think anything had arrived from Topps yet.

I believe Dave had mentioned he'd say something to Topps but we never heard anything more than that.  It would be nice to know one way or another.

After that, Dave said Topps WAS going to send something. See the first post on the second page of this thread.

I know what Dave said but the question to you is what is that WAS?  Was it boxes, a card, art etc.?  Nobody here knows what was sent but it would be interesting to know don't you think?

The Old School 3 boxes should arrive at the Hospital on Wednesday.  I've given Gary's daughter a "head's up" so she'll know to look for it.

Thanks again Brad for doing all you've done.

I personally don't particularly care to know "what" was sent from them, as long as "something" was sent like they stated.

That is sooo cool. I hope we get a report on his reaction to this. Although we already know it will have to lift his spirits !

Good job Brad!  Things were kind of stalled until you took action, and I bet it will mean something to Gary.  He'll know he has some friends here.

Thanks! I've got another get well card along with the check and names of donations to send tomorrow. I'm sure it will be very moving to know he has a lot of friends on the forum.

I sent him out a card a couple days ago as well, plastered with a few Wackys of course!

Yes, I am sure I have a screen grab of it....   I'll post it.


Update.  Sarah is going to the hospital later this evening and show Gary all of the Old School Wackys...   Huge Thanks to the forum from her.

Gary really enjoyed looking at all the cards.  His daughter showed all of them to him and read them to him as well.  It has really helped to break the monotony and she is very grateful to everyone here who has helped.  She will take a photo of the sketches when she can.

Awesome. I knew this would be something fun to do while visiting in the hospital.

I bet Gary got a kick out of Hippy Days. He created his own spoof of it a while back, even as a puzzle card!

I never said to get him a gift. I know some folks have been sending out cards, so its more of awareness that his birthday is coming soon in case they send any other cards.
