Asked in an interview this week what he liked best to do, he answered, "make model air planes, ride horseback and sleep." Model AirplanM While hospitalized the boy has made three model airplanes, us ing only the one hand, and he spends a lot of time reading. He especially likes comic books about horses, and Walt Disney, Donald Duck and Tarzan comics. He also does quite a bit of color ing with crayons while lying on his. stomach. A great company for him is his television set given to him through radio station KBOY. Lynda Schultz, a third grade student at Jackson school, has loaned him her radio, and Gary has received many cards in the mail. "Mom gets over every Wednes day to see me and dad comes over on Sundays," the boy ex plained. His mother stayed -with him, however, for the first sev eral weeks after his injury. Nurses at the hospital spend free time -with him before or after duty,, bringing him milk shakes and other treats and visit ing with him. One nurse, Mrs. Nettie Dunlap, RN, spends much of her free time giving Gary physio-therapy treatments. Hospital personnel all remark on what a "good patient" is. i Gary Lamb riblets baked in a red wine barbecue sauce go well with another inexpensive favor ite, baked California large dry limas.
