As some of you know, legendary designer James Ward has been
dealing with health issues that have placed a severe financial burden on him
and his family. To that end, Jim’s friend and former TSR co-worker, Tim Kask,
has established Friends
of Starship Warden to help defray Jim’s medical expenses.
This past Tuesday, Jim underwent a “coronary procedure” that
turned into a triple bypass. As of tonight, Jim is in the ICU, recovering. Tim
Kask reports:
“This just in from Jim's friend: Just a
quick update on Jim as of now (Thur. evening)...he is still in ICU, but his
doctors feel he is doing well. The surgery went well -- he had several large
blockages which would almost certainly have caused a heart attack in the near
future had they gone unattended. When I saw him earlier today he was still a
bit groggy/drugged, but in great spirits and very appreciative of everyone’s
prayers and positive thoughts. Keep it up. At this point, he expects to be in
the hospital until Monday or so.”
Suffice to say, the operation was a costly
one that will add to Jim’s financial difficulties. For those of you wishing to
help Jim out and help pay back the man for the many hours of entertainment he’s
provided down the years, please consider visiting the Friends of Starship
Warden and making a donation to help Jim and his family pay down some of
medical bills.
