Another update on Tyndall Estes: Recently, Tyndall spent another three weeks at Piedmont Medeical in Rock Hill and is currently at the Post Acute Center off of Ebenezer Rd. As you might remember, he had a brain infection this summer and spent 4 weeks either in the hospital or rehab. This time, he began to experience delusional episodes and became relatively unconsious for a week or so. Although he is now conscious, he is not his normal self. You might say, when was Tyndall ever normal? Well, I will admit that Tyndall was the only person I ever knew who gave himself nicknames - 1) When he played quarterback, he was Y. A. Tyndall (named after Y. A. Tittle of the NY Giants) & 2 In geometry class, with his initials BTE, he was convinced he had come up with a method to trisect an angle so he became Bisectus Trisectus Euclid. Tyndall and I have been friends ever since we were selected as 8th Grade all-stars in basketball, wound up in the same classes at RHHS, both graduating in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson, visiting each other at our various homes, spending 15 years going to the beach together, alternating weekends watching Clemson games at our houses since he moved back to RH, etc. This time, I think it's serious. The doctors are having a tough time finding a dianosis with a good conclusion. Dementia is one of them. Please pray for Tyndall and pray especially for Janice who is trying to get him the best care possible and doesn't know what else to do. Janice does not think he is up to visitors and I agree. We spoke recently on the phone and the things he told me were fantastical to say the least. I hate to report this but I know many of you know him well. Let's hope for the best.
Thanks, Dennis, for the update. It is so sad to hear this news. My prayers are with Tyndall and Janice. K

Had the pleasure of having lunch with Ernie and other classmates Terry Wingate (Jerry was there also) the day before Ernie started treatment.
