On 7/26/12, I sent a letter, a card, and SASE to

Virgil Trucks
1016 Waterford Trl
Calera, AL 35040-7613

On 8/15, I received my unopened envelope back with "Return to Sender" handwritten on my envelope! I have heard (and seen on the feedback) that he is AWESOME TTM, so I was a bit surprised. Has anyone had success on something sent on or after 7/26/12? I hope he is okay! Sorry, no scan of the envelope.

Mr. Trucks has had some health issues of late, after all, he's 95 years old.

He suffered a serious fall in late July and he needs to recover, he has said in interviews he wants to recover for the main reason of signing his fanmail. It shows you what a class act he really is, and at his age, he is still signing as much as ever, and he will hopefully be signing again in a few months when he recovers

He's been great for years, such a class act.

The fact that he just suffered a huge fall, and is 95 years old, and the first thing he thinks about is his fans, he is a great guy! I am probably going to send him a get well card, because he is so great to us, and the majority of us weren't even born when he was playing.
