Another "down"

...sad news to start my new week. I just found out that my friend and fellow model boat racer Troy McIntire passed away this morning. Troy had surgery to repair a ruptured achilles tendon on Thursday, and after complications was back in the hospital today. He had a blood clot that moved into his lungs, and he had a machine helping him breath. His heart stopped several times and despite their drastic measures, doctors were unable to save him. Wow. Bummer...two deaths in two days.
