Jim "Bub" Sullivan, of Sullivan's Saddlery on D St. in Marysville, recently underwent open heart surgery at the Heart Center at Rideout for an aortic valve replacement.

The surgery was a great success and Jim will be recovering at home for the next couple of months and wishes to thank everyone for all the kind words and prayers during his hospital stay and hopes to be back at his leather working desk soon!
