Good Morning,
Most of you don't know me, but please don't delete this email.
My name is Candy Mohnsen, I am the sister of Dave.

I thought I should let you all know. That Dave, is in the hospital,
The Swedish Medical Center, 501 East Hampton Ave., Englewood, CO
80113-2795

The diagnosis, is not good. liver, & kidney disease. Anywhere from 1
month to 3 months.

I know, he would kill me if he knew that I am emailing any of you on
this, But I don't agree with the way that he wants to go out of this
world.

My mother was trying to get a hold of him for 2 weeks, (Dave couldn't
get to the phone). My daughter, Amber, finally called the police to come
over to his house. They forced Dave into the hospital on 6/13/06.

Since my mother & I live in SD, by the Minnesota border. (Only about
900 miles). We jumped into the lil' Ford Ranger on Thursday, morning
6/15/06. Arrived in Morrison, Friday Morning.

We are at the house at the present, trying to clean, And figure out how
& what we will do here.
Again, I apologize, if you feel invaded by me going down his list of
email partners.
But I feel it is important that you know what is going on.

Thank You for you time
Candy Mohnsen.


I'm also sorry to hear about Dave's sudden illness.
We had emailed eachother about fly-tying about two months ago. He is indeed
a gentleman, this is very sad news and
I wish the best for him and his family.
