My name is Steve McRae. I am Ed Eagar's caregiver. President Eagar and his wife are planning go to the reunion if his health permits and it probably will.

It would be great if Pres Eagar received letters of thanks and encouragement at this time from some of his missionaries.

I just got back from my Mexico trip to watch my son and the BYU team play soccer down in Monterrey. Great trip... On my way down, I stopped in and had a tear jerking experience with President Eager and his wife Gwenna. He was unexpectedly in top form. I think the chance to speak to all his missionaries via videotape really energized him, and Gwenna was right there, helping him a la Nancy Reagan. I got some great footage.

Gwenna called me last night with some sad news.  President Eagar had a bad fall November 10.  He broke his femur and arm and, although the doctor said this would be the "beginning of the end" has been recovering since.  He still is either in bed or a wheelchair.  His broken leg is 1 1/2" shorter than his other leg.

She said that if President Eagar is capable, he will attend our reunion. She said he is still tough as nails, but that this incident "has him down". He was at 232 pounds when he fell, and is at around 185 now.  Let's keep President Eagar in our prayers!

Sister Eagar also gave me the best address for reaching the Eagars.  It is PO Box 2260, Pine, AZ 85544

I see President Eagar every few months.  His home burned in Strawberry a couple of years ago and he has another home across the street where he stays on weekends and still attends the Pine Ward the last I spoke with him.  But he has a home in Mesa, AZ and runs a trucking company from there, which he and his wife started a few years ago.

When I last saw President Eagar, he was living in Pine and had just remarried (maybe 8 years ago) after Ella's death.  Some time after that, a reunion was held in SLC which he attended.  Do any of you know of President Eagar?  Who may have attended that reunion?  Were there directories handed out?  If any of you have an idea, let me know.
