It seems that our prayers have been heard.  I'll say it once again "God Bless Carroll Shelby!"....and I mean that quite literally.

I will say a special prayer for his continued improvement this Sunday at Easter Mass.

This is fantastic news.  I am so pleased to hear he is feeling better.  I have been somewhat depressed since the Bash, when his condition was less than encouraging, and he couldn't join us to celebrate the 50th.
