John,

I noticed you visited Gil Frietag's layout. Was Gil there? How is he doing? Last I heard he was seriously ill.

Hi, Bernie, thx for asking.

Gil had a bad stroke in February.  He is making progress day to day, his motor functions are slowly returning,
but he still needs to use a wheelchair, and
while he understands everything around him, it's very frustrating to him that he cannot yet express himself
with his former limitless vigor.   His family, friends, wife and son and operating crew all continue to rally
around him.  They all, especially Gil, wanted to be open for these and other layout tours, as it is a source
of joy to all of them.  

Knowing Gil, he is fighting back with his famous spirit and personality.  We all should hold him in our thoughts,
and pray for continued day to day recovery.
