8/25/15 - UPDATE
Just heard from Mike... he's currently in the hospital in Pittsburgh awaiting a lung transplant, which he's been on a wait list for for some time. He went down there yesterday, but no date has been set for the transplant. He regrets that he won't be there for the reunion, but he'll certainly be there in spirit. Hopefully his surgery will be behind him by then and we'll be able to video chat with him. Keep Mike in your thoughts and prayers!

I spoke with Mike today... he's feeling good, but still has a lot of fluid in his legs. He's hoping to be released by mid-week... but, it will depend on how things go. As of right now, Mike is still planning to attend the reunion. He is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and love he's receiving and asked that I express his gratitude to everyone. He'll be sending out a message once he gets home and has access to his computer. I reminded him that he's the glue that holds us all together and we're all counting on seeing him at the reunion.

8/15/15 UPDATE FROM MIKE:
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS NEEDED
Carol ‘Desiderio’ Moshier just called me to let me know that our iIlustrious leader, Mike Sellazzo was just admitted to an area hospital because of both pulmonary and heart-related distress. Mike has been having some health issues, but this is an unexpected wrinkle in his road to wellness.
As you know, Mike has been the glue for our class since graduation - keeping us connected as he orchestrated our reunions throughout the years. He is a completely unselfish being who loves his ‘people’ - we in his class, his friends and family, and most recently - if you have been following his Facebook posts - his wonderful array of grandchildren.
Mike is the best. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
-David Perugini
