Howard Copelan was returning to the US from a visit to his children and grandchildren in Israel on Tuesday, September 2 when he was stricken while on the flight over the Mediterranean. The plane made an emergency landing in Barcelona Spain, and Copelan was hurried to the hospital there, accompanied by his wife Corrine.
The disruption in travel plans resulted in a missed edition of the Advocate, which troubled him almost as much as his medical condition. He is mending there, and expects to be released in a few days to continue his journey home.
Praise the Lord that you are well and are returning to Nevada. There is more work for you to do here on earth so take better care of you and keep on keeping on. Talk to you soon. With love, your friend, Nichole
