Title: Charles Flaiz
Post by: Wilma on August 20, 2007, 09:50:45 AM
I am not sure where this should be so I will put it here.  For those of you who know Charles Flaiz of Severy, long time post master.  I just learned that he has broken a hip.  I didn't ask any questions as we were on long distance on the other person's nickel.  Perhaps Marcie can tell us more.

Charlie broke his leg while trying to load a lawn mower.  (I think Charlie is 92 yrs. old).  If anyone wants to send him a card, he is now at Lakepoint Nursing & Rehabilitation Center; 901 Lakepoint Drive; Augusta, KS 67010.

thank you for posting this.  I will get the information to Aunt Vola. We and Chick are not related, but relation to relation, if you know what I mean.

And for those who don't know, Flo did not mispell Chuck.  Charles Flaiz was always called Chick.  I know not why.

Well, I'll send him a card.  Once in awhile he would drive down to Toot's for breakfast.  That was when I was unemployed.

I'm sorry to hear about Chick.  I'll get a card off to him.  His wife was a Gilbert and we have been family friends for years.

Now this is darn nice.

You Elk Countians really know how to show compassion and love for others.

Well, Rudy, haven't you just been flooded with love and compassion since you joined us?

     I talked to Charlie's daughter, Sue Hurt, today.  She said her dad will be in rehab for another four weeks or so.  He is able to walk some with a walker now.  He is determined to get well so he can come back home.  I asked Sue how he acquired the the nickname, "Chick," and she does not know.  She is going to ask him and get back with me.

Mom70X7,  Mr and Mrs Flaiz and family used to belong to the Methodist Church in Severy and I'm assuming he still goes there.  Think we could place him on the prayer list for Sunday?

       Charlie got out of rehab the latter part of last week and has been staying at Larry and Sue Hurt's house in Climax (121 West Fifth Street; Climax, KS  67137-3713).

Hurrah for him.  I hope that he gets where he feels like he can go back home.  I took care of lots of broken bones on elderly patients and sometimes they don't want to walk again.  I hope that's not the case with Mr. Flaiz.
