Former Governor Sid McMath is scheduled to
be released from the hospital in time to attend signing parties for
his new book this weekend. That`s what his son says today. McMath
has been hospitalized for weeks for treatment of an irregular
heartbeat.
The 91-year-old is to be released from Baptist Rehab in Little
Rock tomorrow.
His son, Phillip McMath, a Little Rock lawyer, says he doesn`t
know whether his father will be strong enough to actually sign
copies of his recently released autobiography, "Promises Kept."
Sid McMath was governor from 1949 to 1953 after serving as a
crusading Garland County prosecutor. The decorated World War Two
hero has kept a law practice since leaving the governor`s office.
