       DEL HALTERMAN
       By: tabalt11 Date: April 7, 2015, 3:06 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Member Dennis Cote from Newark, Delaware informed me late this
       past Saturday night that LONGTIME VENTURES FAN Del Halterman,
       shortly after a weekend gig on March 29th had a heart attack.
       He's
       currently awaiting bypass surgery at an Edmonton, Alberta
       hospital
       in CANADA.
       To this point in time, many of Del's friends have voiced their
       support
       for 'full recovery' on various facebook pages & forums dedicated
       to THE
       VENTURES, specifically ours & Underground Fire 2.
       Walt & I continue to work towards gettin' additional 'related'
       information-
       exact hospital name & address, room # & direct phone line.   Be
       patient.
       In the meantime, feel free to enter your thoughts here or on any
       of the
       other mentioned avenues.
       I first met Del on the 2003 VENTURES CRUISE with LOS
       STRAITJACKETS.
       Here & elsewhere he's been thanked countless times for being the
       'greatest'
       author ever in our eyes- simply 'cause he penned WALK, DON'T
       RUN- The
       Story of The Ventures.   At this 'most critical' time in his
       life, let's provide all
       the kind words & encouragement we can 'muster up' to help a dear
       friend pull
       through this battle!
       Let's hear it for Del many times over!

       I had a triple bypass in 1999, changed my life too, for the
       better.  Think of it as a tune up and oil change! I never had an
       attack, but my doctors at the time told me I would have not
       survived if I had one.  Do what the doctors say, exercise
       modestly and you will be back on top, full recovery!  Walk,
       don't Run, as they say.  The hardest thing at first is to NOT
       sneeze!

       My thoughts and prayers are with Del for a full recovery.  He's
       one of the fans' most direct lines of communication with Don
       Wilson and, as we all know, author of the official Ventures
       biography "Walk Don't Run: The Story of The Ventures."  He's
       also an active member of the Underground Fire online fan club,
       of which I'm also a member.
       Here's wishing Del all the best.
       Arnold
