Because many of you have asked- Dr. DeBakey

[KMATTOX at aol.com]

I apologize for this crude attempt to communicate.   
 
First, I wish to thank the many of you who have individually sent  
condolences to me personally following the Friday night death of Dr. Michael E.  
DeBakey.  
 
Secondly, I am not suggesting anything other than merely letting you know  
about arrangements.  In many ways with the difficulty in travel and the  very 
very high temperatures in Houston this time of year, I would discourage  travel 
to Houston, however, many have asked for knowledge of specific  arrangements.

Dr. DeBakey's body will lie in state in the ROTUNDA of Houston City Hall  
beginning at 10 AM on Tuesday July 15.   At 3:00 PM Mrs. DeBakey and  Olga 
DeBakey will be available for public visitation until 7:00 PM.    I do not know if 
other members of the family will be there.    To  enter the Rotunda, visitors 
will pass through a US Army MASH Hospital Tent. (if  one can be found and 
erected in time).   
.  
 
The Funeral is now  confirmed for Wednesday, July 16 at 11 a.m. at St. Luke's 
United  Methodist located at 3471 Westheimer.   It holds 1200 with overflow 
for 400.   It is expected that this church  will be overflowing with people who 
want to pay their last  respects.
