Hey Folks, just a quick update on Pete Fortunato. Sunday, March 5th.
Kim and I just hung up the phone after talking with Pete. It was such a joy to hear how strong his voice was!
And an added bonus of the surgery - Pete can feel warmth in his feet for the first time in more than 10 years! He is doing regular walks around the hospital with Jeanne and the nurses. Best of all, Pete said he's being let out of (escaping from) the hospital tomorrow! 6 days after a massive, invasive surgery! Tough guy!
Pete plans to fly back to St. Pete on March 16th, 2023. He plans to attend a presentation that Jeff Watson is giving at Sarasota REIA on March 18th. He also said that he will teach with John Schaub in Tampa on March 25th & 26th, 2023. (go to JohnSchaub.com to

Honestly, have you ever met anyone else who had quintuple (5) bypass surgery at the beginning of the month and then taught a two-day seminar at the end of that same month? Like
we said, he is just tough as nails!
Pete is OUR national treasure. He has given so much to the real estate investing community.....and even from his hospital bed, he continues to give
his heart.
Your prayers and well wishes are helping Pete recover. When he spoke about all the emails he's received, Pete choked up. Heck, we did too! The outpouring of
love and respect that you have shown OUR Pete has just been unbelieveable. It has brought us all to our knees with gratitude! Thank you.
Typical Pete, he wants to respond
to every email personally, but Jeannne and the nurses won't give him his computer or his shoes. They are making him rest! But he reads and is grateful for every one. Pete's email address is: PeterFortunato@me.com
We love and appreciate our real estate community. Y'all are our family!
