Bruce 'Magoo'
« on: January 08, 2010, 10:06:59 am »
Many people in the vintage scene on the east coast would have come across Bruce McFarland at some time I expect.  He's usually the one cracking jokes and having a good time but he needs a bit of cheering up himself at present.  Some of you may already know but he's just had his left kidney removed due to a cancerous tumour.  He's still in hospital at present but I'm sure he could do with some cards, calls or good wishes in a week's time or so when he's out.

Regards

Ken

Geez, that's a bit rough at Christmas time... at any time really. Hope the big bugger is OK and that they got it all. Anyone who's likely to see him in the next few days pass on my very best wishes for a speedy recovery. Bruce is one of the real Good Guys of the VMX scene.

Thanks for informing us Ken. I was wondering why he hadn't been on the forum  much lately.
Hope it all goes well with his recovery.

And we all thought that his liver would rebel first!

Seriously, that's not good - hope the big ugly bastard gets better soon.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Hospitals are never much fun, let alone operations.
Hope it all sorts out for you okay.
It may be a good way to start the year, if old problems are gone & you can start the year afresh.
Get well soon Magoo, hope your health performs better than your Honda's.

It will take more than a poxy tumour to keep the big ugly bastard down for long. He will be up chasing the nurses before you know it  :D
Get well soon big fella  :)
