It was Valentine’s Day sixyears ago, and Hinsdale’s BobKlinger had just recovered from prostate cancer surgery. He eagerly anticipated his first post-op outing: Wellness House’s annual Valentine’s couples dinner. Mother Nature had another agenda. “It was a blizzard, so they called all the couples and said, ‘We might cancel the event,” Klinger recounted. “I told them, ‘I will crawl there in the blizzard because I need this.’ They said, ‘OK, well, I guess we’ll have it.’ That’s how much I needed (Wellness House’s) support at that time.” Klinger will continue his practice of returning the favor by participating in this year’s Walk for Wellness fundraiser on Sunday, May 7.
