Update on Ed Dolby from Sal Fruciano
====================================

A few days ago I had a conversation with Dick Dolby, Ed's son. Dick says his
dad is somewhat better, but has added a few additional complications to his
health problems. He presently suffers from an almost complete loss of memory,
and relates to little of what has happened to him in the past 40 years. He is
now in a hospital.
