Jul 27th, 2023 - Walter Yankauskas

I am saddened to inform the Chapter that on July 15th Walter Yankauskas suffered a stroke, but tonight I talked to his wife Rande Lucas and she said he’s currently in rehab at St. Elias Specialty Hospital in Anchorage. He can talk, but tires quite easily - his rehab sessions take up much of his day. Well-wishes can be sent to his email at: walteryak@gmail.com. If you wish to send him a get well card you could send that to him at 17041 Jacqueline Cir., Anchorage, 99516. As I receive any updates from his wife Rande, I will forward them to the group.

Update 8/1: Walter called me tonight and is sounding good! He is now able to have a single visitor after 4 pm, but please check with his wife Rande Lucas at 907-350-7820 to coordinate a potential visit.

Update 8/3: I visited Walter and I think he enjoyed the company.

Get well soon Walter!
