The last I read was that Coco was up in Ensenada, possibly getting a revision on his new(er) amputation. My friend (and former patient) wants to
donate a used electric wheelchair - one that is similar to a "Rascal" and is in very good condition. His insurance has recently bought him one of the
new high tech gyroscopic wheelchairs that can climb stairs, elevates the seat to heights for shopping, etc.(made by the guys who designed the
"Segway"). Anyway, I'm going down in latter September for clinics at Los Pinos Ranch in SQ and La Paz, and I would very much like to see Coco on my
way down to deliver the chair and to measure and mold him for 2 new prostheses. I could fabricate the legs at our lab in La Paz and deliver them to
Coco on my way back home. If ANYBODY has any information (address, phone number, email address) it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Paul Boe

Anyone who has seen Coco in the past month, please respond... Paul is doing a great thing, but he can't get the wheelchair and new legs to Coco if we
don't know where he is.
Thanks Paul... Coco has given us years of fun memories and cold beers at his corner... Great that you are trying to give something back to him... and
what could be greater than new legs and a wheelchair?
