    wanted to thank all of you for your continued support of well-wishes and prayers during my time with this silly cancer junk. been gone way too long up north to the Oregon health and Sciences University with some of the best Physicians attending here at the University/Hospital on this gorgeous planet. have had my stem cells now separated and cleaned up so the last task awaits me with a complete bone marrow transplant. feel very fatigued and sore having had a 5 inch long tube stuck in my neck for a weeks time, but this is nothing of what could of been ..................

    blessings to all members and BIG thanks ...... I'll be around

    Erich, 'tis good to hear from you and glad that there are treatment options available for you. The key is always under the mat and you know where the coffee pot is. Drop by whenever you have the time and the strength.

    Best wishes to the Big E...The Enterprise returned from it's battle to fight again. Hard fought battle against the flames, but she made it...The most decorated WW2 ship is congruent with one of WW2F's most decorated and knowledgeable contributors.
    Three cheers for Erich:

    It's good to see you back, Erich. Here's hoping and praying that your prescribed treatment puts that nasty C. on the ash heap of history.
