Just in case you were wondering about Terry...

...here he is!

Passed 60 (years!) and is going strong!

Kate - his daughter - recently raised money again in the Liver Walk for the American Liver Foundation - in honor of him. She recruited friends and family for TEAM FRIKKEN, again this year!

Give him a call! But if he picks up while he's driving, tell him you'll call him back later. Have you ever seen him drive?!?

Guess who will be 60 this year?

Well, yes, Tom Watson!

And . . . Terry/Dad/Papa/Grampa!

Remember that photo of him riding his bicycle in Madison?

Well, now you can ask him if he's been riding his very own bicycle (that still needs to be delivered)!

It's even got a storage rack on the back, so you can check in with him to see if he's been hauling his groceries or booty from Home Depot home on it...

Happy Terry with some of the family

Does he LOOK like he's doing well?

Here's Terry, on a recent visit to his daughter Susan and her partner Deb's home in Madison, WI.

All the activity in town inspired him to want to hop on a bicycle.

So they did, and here he is biking down the Capital City Trail, along Lake Monona.

In celebration of the third anniversary of his liver transplant (14 June) . . .

GO POP!

It's the Healthy Liver Anniversary!

Dad and grandson Braden

This Saturday (June 14) will be two years that Terry (a.k.a. "Dad") will have been living with his donated liver.

Regular lab work keeps tabs on his health. Aside from some high kidney protein readings that are stable, things are going really well.










He's been "golfink" (otherwise known as golfing) when the weather permits, and is getting ready for his son, Terry's bachelor party this Saturday.

Thanks for celebrating with us!

Are you a registered organ donor? Dad received his gift of a liver because someone else had registered as an organ donor.

Just wanted you to know Terry is doing well!!

Here is proof!

(And don't forget to ask him about the wedge he's got in his sights for this year's golf season!)
