Ron Landis, hobo nickel carver, engraver extraordinaire, and founder of the former Gallery Mint Museum, is undergoing bypass and valve replacement surgery Wednesday morning according to a post of his on Facebook. Send your well-wishes, good vibes, and prayers his way.
I've got a mechanical heart valve. Don't worry about hearing it go 'click, click, click'. You won't notice it after a while. Other people usually can't hear it, but it can be a "tell" if you are playing poker and you're dealt 4 Queens - "clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick"!!!
