Ken Schramm in Hospital

[hopfenundmalz]

Wondered if this was appropriate, but seeing that Mead Day is coming up, thought I would post.
 From facebook:

"Been experiencing chest pain lately, and thought it was asthma. I had a cardiac catheterization today. I'm having bypass surgery on Wednesday at Troy Beaumont Hospital to re-establish blood flow through five blocked coronary arteries. "

Keep Ken in your thoughts as you make the Mead on Mead day.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for posting this to the Forum!  I read your message out loud to the office, and I will definitely be keeping Ken in my thoughts this weekend as I observe Mead Day. 

Good luck and be well, Ken Schramm!

Cheers,
Janis

Best wishes to Ken! I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

So sorry to hear that.

Our club, Hogtown Brewers, will have 44 brewers making mead tomorrow. I'll make an announcement and we'll all raise our glasses to Ken's good health. He's a Mead God & inspiration to us all. Hope he has a good procedure and recovers well & speedily.

Best wishes to Ken.

Great guy, great mead maker, great teacher.

We learned a lot from him here in St. Paul, MN.

I wasn't planning on making mead tomorrow, I have other plans.  But I might need to make a quick batch tomorrow in Ken's honor.  Get well Ken.

I hate to hear this but thanks for letting everyone know. We will raise a glass for him today at my Mead Day celebration.

Raising a glass to Ken's speedy, safe and pain free recovery!

Thanks for the info, Jeff.  Get well soon, Ken!

Five blocked arteries sounds like a lot of blocked arteries. Just picked up a copy of his book a few weeks ago. Hope he pulls through.

Me and my bees are pulling for you Ken. Thanks for your great book too, btw.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Although I have made some derogatory posts about mead in the past I met a good mead maker a few months back who opened my eyes to a few things. Have Ken's book in route to the house as we speak.
