A Message From Bob

Bob and family, Thankful for your progress. Faith and family, just what you need. We miss you.

Glad to see you are doing better Bob!
I have always enjoyed you on ABC news and think you and Elizabeth have done a wonderful job on World News Tonite after Peter Jennings death.
My prayers are with you and I am looking forward to when you can return to the set.
God Bless.

Dear Bob, Lee and family: You have been in our hearts and prayers ever since we heard of your near-tragic accident in Iraq. To see your photos and read your words of hope was truly an answer to prayer for us. We do not support Mr. Bush, but we do support all men and women who put themselves in harm's way every day in Iraq. Thank you for the very fine journalism and reporting you and Elizabeth have done, particularly after the very sad loss of your friend and colleague Peter Jennings. We hope to see you back soon. Betty and Jack Walsh

Hi Bob,
It was so good to see those wonderful pictures of you, with your wonderful smile and big eyes. Now that you are back home with your lovely wife Lee and the kids that is the best treatment you can have for a speedy recovery.

Can't wait to see you back on air again, maybe when Elizabeth takes her maternity leave you will be ready to go on air and beat Katie in the ratings---because we know you will. Just get well, and the rest will fall in line. Elizabeth has done a great job, but we want to see the both of you back.

Thanks to modern science, Bob is doing well and recovering nicely. Since I am not a religious person, instead of "praying", I will instead donate to charities that help further medical science. I would encourage other readers to do the same. Continue to get well, Bob!

Hope you return before Elizabeth goes on maternity leave.

Your courage to report the news as it truly happened is surpassed by your ongoing courage to not just survive, but return to your place at
ABC. Two Oregon septuagenarians still watch ABC every night with eager anticipation for your return. God Bless you and heal you. Dr. and Mrs. Robert G. Kaufman

Dear Bob,

I sustained a severe TBI while studing in France in 1990. I became a Theta Chi at N.S.U. in Natchitoches, Louisiana in 1992. While a still suffered from my head injury, I graduated college with a BA in History & a Historic Peservation minor. Although I could not do a lot of things well, I focus on things that I could excell in. I was good at lending a helping hand" as our brothehood taught us! If I could do anything for you brother, please let me know. Good luck to you with your recovery and the future you have with your family, friends and with your God above.
My heart goes out to you while I do my work for our country @ the Springfield Armory National Historic Site, in Springfield, Massachusetts. May you find peace in your healing, remember, it is the small things that really matter in this life, and I love all of my brothers. David

Dear Bob, I grew up in Bloomfield Hills, right across the street from Vaughn School. I went to Brookside School. From the time I first heard about you I've felt that little connection. We are all praying and hoping for your recovery most complete recovery. We continue to send supportive thoughts to you and yours, Susan

Dear Lee, (sorry for the familiarity)
My son-in-law has pretty severe brain injury due to complications after being in Iraq for 15 months in 2003-04. Going through this whole experience with my daughter--Landstuhl, Walter Reed, P.Alto. TBA Center...has been amazing in a Twilight-Zonish way, as you well know. I wrote you a letter months ago, but had no idea how to get it to you. Can you email me to give me an address to which I could send it? I know that the few times my daughter was able to talk with other wives in her place, it was very helpful, but those have been few and far between. Even now, two years later, during the rehab. phase, she has only commiserated with very few wives. Perhaps you might find this a good contact for you. I sincerely hope you and your husband are doing well, and that Thanksgiving, soon coming up, is wonderful for you. --bgb
