Back in 1985, Peter's Dad, Neil Hafen had heart surgery. A quadruple bypass and valve replacement. He had been a regular patron of the City Lunch Cafe which at the time was owned and operated by Shauna Willcox Brotherson. After his surgery he received this card. It was amongst the many memorabilia that Neil's wife Alice Hafen kept. It has the signatures of many who have now passed on. But reading each signature brings happy memories to mind. Ern Brothersen, LuDean Parish, Anita Micklesen, Ras Jorgensen, Reed Orton, Andy Johansen, David Beck, LaMar Olsen, Ted Burnside, Stanton Seely, Tony Poulsen, Eddie Seely, George Porter, Orvil DeMoss, Gail Zabriskie, Burkley White, C.R. Seely, Dan Daniels, Donald Anderson, Eldon Nielsen, Alten Brothersen, Earl J. Ursenbach, Ferg Rosenlund, Jerry Shepherd, Kent Dyches, Don Jeffries, Lester Parnell, Jay H. Larsen, DeWayne Harrison, Michael Christensen, Carl Barentsen, Steve Poulsen, Scott Anderson, Tony Draper, Newel Shepherd, Coach B.. Lody ?, and Shauna (Brothersen).
Neil lived another five years after his surgery. His surgeon was Dr. Robert Nelson, now one of the L.D.S. General Authorities.
