It is good that he is ok. It is tough being a huskie fan these days.

Tell me about it! I found myself in emergency Saturday night with heart palpitations of my own. I can't wait for basketball to get here so I can relax. I may take a vacation from football until then.
They really are the "Cardiac Canines".
Two successive heart attacks - one fatal- in press boxes at other stadiums is kinda eerie.
Armstrong is the columinst I referenced last week having featured L. English of Marmion. Perhaps he may need some well wishes from Huskie fans.
Been there- done that - twice - and still kickin'. Two triple bypasses within one year. Go DGW/CYBES !
I am, however, avoiding press boxes in the weeks ahead.
I godda know how this rockyroad season plays out.
Thus far many hearts have alrerady been nearly ripped outta many Huskie chests.
That Northern Star reporter, Sean Ostruszka, is a very good friend of mine, and he is a unselfish person who thinks of other people. I am glad to find out about Sean performing CPR because he is a gentleman who always help people.
Right person at the right place doing the right thing at a bad moment.
Kudos to him for taking action and making a difference.
