Hi All we lost Art yesterday he will be missed a lot . I will post more info as it comes out . First met Art in the very early years of collecting and then when the Badger Marble club started well Art was so involved I could go on and on about stories but the one that I think about very often is as we were talking about marbles it took us 15 minutes to see we missed our turn . Miss you Art . Mike Mibsters- We lost Art today, Saturday, March 23, at 11:52 am. I have no details on the visitation or funeral. Please check web for details. Hartford Times Press or I will send when I get the information. Kathy, Art's daughter, thanks us all for the friendship for the last 15 yrs. It meant a lot to Art. Address for cards: 81 S. Main St., Hartford, Wi. 53027 Sincerely, Jim

Hi all just got this email from the badger marble club . Mike Date: Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 8:48 PM Mibsters.... Those of you who know Art should know he is not doing very well. He's been in the hospital for a while and has just been admitted to an ICU in Hartford. Read the letter below from his daughter explaining the recent bout with pneumonia. Bill and Vicki Bass are going down to Hartford to see him tomorrow. I will try to keep you updated on his condition in the coming days. Sincerely, Jim Afternoon Bill & Vicki; Thought I would update you on Dad. We thought things were going ok, last week Thursday he was transferred to the sub acute rehab center at St. Josephs hospital in West Bend (same place my sister Mary works) and the plan was for Dad to stay there for 2 or 3 weeks, get his strength back, get the rehab he needs etc…. But all weekend he was struggling with his breathing and had zero strength, not even to eat which didn’t help things. Today they transferred him back to Hartford Hospital and now he is in ICU. They just can’t get his breathing under control. They now have him on some kind of mask ventilator, pushing oxygen into his lungs. My sister said they will try taking the mask off tonight to eat and see how he does. They put a catheter in and ended up with 1000 cc of urine which prior he hasn’t been able to release, unsure of what that means? Not sure if this has something to do with the suspected Cancer in the bladder or something else? Not a lot of answers other than if they can’t get the lungs back up and working that it looks like they can’t do any surgery for the bladder. Not sure if they can proceed with treatment for the cancer w/out knowing what it is? His doctor of course is on vacation – Mary is going to get a hold of the on call doctor today and hopefully we will know more. Will keep you updated as we learn more. Kathy

well if this is the auction and your are the bidder I think besides the big chip there are other issues . If I saw this in the wild and was suffering from a marble addiction that need a fix I think I would buy it for $10.00 but when I got home might say Why did I do that . . I bet the more you think, the more you would like to pass ?? Mike http://www.ebay.com/...=item3a71af6e7c
