Larry Blustein

[TheSwagger1]

I know he was needing some major transplant a few weeks/months ago and at a very critical point but I never heard an update. Anyone here know how he is?

I got to hang with him for a few hours about 15 years ago and he was an exceptionally nice dude and 100% authentic in his passion for helping kids.

Great to hear Blu is good. With all the blood suckers and hanger-on in So FL like Slave Trader, Blu is huge breath of fresh sea air.

Let me get this straight: he actually got a transplant? Did it say that in the article, I didn't see it. Last I heard, a week or two ago he was still waiting for a kidney. Please confirm.

Gulliver Prep w/ 3 kids in the top 15. I grew up with a close family friend in MN that is history teacher there now. Anybody know if these likely end up transferring to a higher regarded school? Why haven't they been more prominent in the past etc.?

Otherwise - I see a lot of Central, Booker T, Heritage & St. Thomas kids in that list as usual.
Not a lot of Miramar, Norland (which I would have expected).

### Best wishes to Miami Herald recruiting guru and WQAM host Larry Blustein, 58, who had a kidney transplant recently (a longtime friend donated one) and then suffered a heart attack five days later, which will require quadruple bypass surgery in a few weeks.

Great to hear that. I went to the website for the newspaper he works for, but didn't see anything. Last I read was an article he wrote a year ago about his travails while waiting for a kidney. Many people are not so lucky:

This is great news, I know he was very popular with people who knew him in south Florida and was like an institution. I was hoping that, among his many friends, somebody might come forward with a donation. I'm sure he's in good hands with his cardiac issue and can do quite well afterwards. Best of Luck to Larry.

Good news on Bluestein. Can't help but notice only one DT on the list.
