Intro

Dear Friends of Amacker,

Our family has been so comforted to witness the outpour of love from all of you. We are grateful for your help, your sympathy, and your caring for Amacker. In the weeks to come, each of you will help in many ways, but right now the doctors are doing the work for us.

To help them, we are all doing our best to stay out of their way, but I’m sure that is difficult on you as it is on us. To help you stay informed, I’m going to do my best at keeping very accurate and up to date information here.

Because I haven’t met many of you, let me start by saying that I am Richard Bullwinkle, Amacker’s youngest sibling. I live just a very few blocks from Amacker. All decisions about Amacker’s care have been made in tight coordination with myself, our father Dick, who has flown in from Texas, and our sister Alden who is fighting her desire to be here immediately because she will be needed here much more when Amacker is conscious again. Alden lives in Chicago and has two nearly-grown boys.
