Bob Allen's (Melbert Steel Guitars) Wife

[Bill Rickles]

Thought you foumites might want to know. Bob's wife is facing serious heart surgery. Please keep her in your prayers and well wishes. Bob just finished my cherry d6. A great guy to deal with. Very helpful. I'll post pixs later.

I certainly agree that Bob is not only a great builder of Steel Guitars but you'd be hard pressed ti find a nicer person to do business with. I also know that his wife is a great helping hand and does most the packing for shipping. I will keep both in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for the get well wishes. Joan had triple bypass surgery and is doing well, expect her to be out of ICU early next week. She has a long road ahead and probably won't be back here minding the store and working on lap steels for 3 to 6 months. She did much more than just handling the shipping. She is excellent with the final hand sanding, staining, spraying, buffing, putting strings on and finding everything that I misplace. Without her help and with the many trips to the hospital, I'm running a couple of weeks behind but other family members are pitching in and I expect to be back on schedule soon. Bob

Bob,

That is great news and I am sure that your "right hand man", will be good as new soon.

Good news! Mrs Allen (The better half of Melbert Steels) will transfer from hospital to rehab tomorrow to continue her recovery after coronary bypass surgery. She wants to thank everyone for their prayers and get well wishes. Bob

Thrilled to hear the great news about her recovery!

After 3 weeks in the hospital and 2 weeks in rehab, Joan is back home. She is still facing 10 weeks of outpatient physical therapy and a lot of work ahead, but the worst is over. Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Glad to hear she's home again. Here's my wishes for a fast and complete recovery.
