Mark Lipinski Has Had a Kidney Transplant Today

This is fourth hand information but people on another quilting forum have relayed the news that quilting guru Mark Lipinski (who has been seriously ill with kidney disease for quite some time) has received a kidney transplant today from  his friend and neighbor, a woman he has named "Kidney Mary". The report is that surgery went well for both donor and recipient.

This information is posted on his Facebook page if you are a Facebook user.  I am not a FB person so that's why I'm saying it is "fourth hand".  :-)
