Bud Cole, whose outdoors column appears in the Focus section of The Lehigh Valley Press newspapers and web sites is recovering from complications of a recent surgical procedure.

We hope to have Bud back writing again in the near future.

In the meantime, anyone who has enjoyed “Bud’s View,” and would like to send him a get-well card, please do so to:

Bud Cole, 4006 Friars View Drive, Northampton, PA 18067
