More knee surgery for John Lazares

Due to complications from his knee replacement surgery in August 2005, CORE and STRS Board member John Lazares is scheduled for further surgery on that knee on January 22. Many are aware of the intense pain he has suffered since his first surgery, and of the fact that he has had to use a crutch ever since. John expects to be in the hospital at least four days, and may be "out of commission" three or four months. We hope this surgery is 100% successful and wish John a speedy and complete recovery this time.
