In June of 1990 I was in the hospital recovering from a bypass
  operation.  A member of my Church's Council came to visit & said he
  brought greetings from the entire Council and their wishes that I
  should recover soon and live a long and healthy life.  I thanked
  him and said that was very nice.
    He was somewhat taken aback and said, "It's more than 'nice' Jimmy.
  It was an official resolution...  passed by a vote of 14 to 7 too"
