As most of you know Winston West driver Dan Obrist suffered a massive coronary this past weekend. He was originally given a ten percent survival rate, but his condition improved dramatically. Dick Varder, the Winston West Chaplain, talked with Dan Obrist’s oldest daughter this AM 10/9/97 0900 hrs. She told him they have removed the ART line to his heart last night and have taken him off most medication and the ventilator. He will be in Yakama for two to three more days and then he can be transported to Portland for full recovery. This depends on the Dr. exam this morning and following days. If Obrist continues to recover at the rate he is going, he should be home very soon. Unofficial Winston West Page (10-9-97)
