J4b• of Congress ~ #0371.5717 Vol. -ii, No. 2 April ~977 P,O, Box 1146, Duxbury, Mass. NATIONAL NAVAL MEDICAL CENTER BETHESDA, MARYLAND· 20014 02332 ' page 25 IN REPLY REFER TO April 1<5, 1977 Dear Mary, In early March, 1977, Col. John Soule s ent word to me in~he Anesthesiolo gy department of the hospital that he had been admitted . to the hospital. I must admit that I was a bit concerned when I found that he had been admitted to the corohary constant care section. \'lhlle visiting wi th him that day_, _however, I found that the problem was not one of heart di sease, but rather that of an . aneurysmal dilatation- of the aorta. After the appropriate tests~ it was d e termined that the aneurysm was an abdominal one; ~ortunately located below the take-off of the renal arteries. l suspect that I should take a moment to briefly explain just what an aortic aneurysm is. The major arter"ial blood v~ssel is called the aorta. -As the aorta leaves the heart, ·it fo rms an arch similar to a shepherd 1 s . crook -~the vessel is roughly 1-1t inches in diameter. At the level of the arch, vessels leave the aorta which supply blood to the head, the arms, etc. Afte r the vessel makes its arch in the chest, it travels down the body next to the spinal column. A short distance below the level of the unbilicus, it divides to supply the leg s. In the abdomen, the aorta supplies arterial or oxygenated blood to the internal organs. An aneurysm is a dilatation or swelling of a blood vessel; they can form -in any number of places in the body. Their danger lies in . the fact that not infrequently · they repture or burst, and ·when they do they are frequently fatal. I had visited the Col. during his hospital admis~ ion, ~nd I was present when he was visited by the leader of yhe surgical team, Dr. William Gee, a very skilled vascular surgeon who had stopped by to review once again the surgical plan, possible complications, and just what the operation would mean in · terms of extending longevity. On the morning of March 30, 1977, surgery was performed. I, ofcourse, observed the progress of the operation, and for a brie~ episode a~sisted in the anesthetic m anagem tn~. The procedure moved along smoothly, without complicatiqn. · The Colonel now has a dacron graft where the aneurysm was onc~ ·located. r I George Standish Soule visited him on two occassions in the Intensive Care Unit. He has received a number of calls from Dr. Terry, and -his son has called him from Paris, France. I have visited with him on a no. of occassions; we have discussed the Phila~e~phia reunion and the various Sou le Kindred projects. He 1s gathering strength and in general getting along well. He was discharged from the hospital several days ago. Prior to his leaving the hospital, he had ap por£k:ity read this to note. . erel~~- Glenn L.

John Soule a speedy recovery and best w ishes on his continued good health. Next it has been decided our Newsletter should be kept within the 25 - 30 page limit. Higher cost of printing and mailing has taken its toll. So, let's all try and keep the paper filled with Births, deaths and marriages that happen each year. Current news i terns of our "kin folks" is essential. Proven genealogies seem to . keep in the important bracket. In fact all Soule related items are most welcome. Thanks so much for all your help, it is most appreciated. We want to make the Newsletter an informative magazine and all the items we have used are just that and more. The responses with t he sending of dues shows each item has interested some if not all our readers. Let's keep it up and have a good paper each issue. LOOK at the YOUTH PAGE all you young Soule kin. Get busy and rush your entries in. No time limit was shown, so let's get them in before reunion time at least. You young people are the background of time to come, so get to work and get started now. Our President, Betty Harris, has been busy and sometimes not too w ell, so we should try hard to keep backing her up in her task. If you have problems in mind send them to her. I am sure she will make good decisions like keeping the Newsletter in good form but cutting the size where we can. Smaller pictures help a lot. Condensed items too help. But we need the news and will strive to make our paper good. George Soule is our main person to keep us informed and our thanks . to him for good articles about our ancestors and their history. He does a marvelous job. Fred Soules has a big job getting bids on the printing, finishing the paper and getting it in the mail. How many of you realize what this Newsletter takes to get edited, published, items enough, etc. to get it on the road to you? Keep up the good work of helping us. Many items goes to Secretary, Mrs. Haner, and many goes to our Treasurer, these all have to be then mailed to me. So, all our officers are most faithful.
