1776 Surgery - Not Good
« on: December 03, 2001, 09:38:00 PM »
Gentlemen and Gentlewomen:

I'm on the road and don't have details but my wife reports that the brother of 1776 called after the surgery this morning. I had asked Oz to let me know as soon as he could.

Anyway, my wife says that his brother reported that they opened him up, took a look and sewed him back up. Apparently the cancer is "too high"; whether or not it's the kidney or the pancreas I cannot say.

I WILL find out more tomorrow and give you all an update.

This is a very, very sad moment for me and for many of you as well I am sure.

Those of you that are "believers", do what you know how to do.

Those of you that don't necessarily appeal to a "higher power" in times of trouble... hoist a beer in his name and wish him best of luck. He's d*mn sure going to need it.

I'll get back tomorrow with more info.

In the mean time... realize your own mortality and "love one another".

I'm totally bummed. This is a GOOD man.

Thats sad news indeed.

I'm gonna try and get a dialouge opened with a guy I haven't spoken too in a good many years. I hope he's listening...

..then i'm gonna hoist more than a few.

That's bad news  :( Whether or not you believe in a higher power, know that faith is a very powerful tool. This says it best:

There are some sad things you learn as you get older.  One of them is that really nasty things admit of degrees.
<S> 1776, you got it bad.  I'll punch back a shot or two.  Hell, maybe I'll even go back to work.

This is bad.  :(  I hope old 1776 pulls though. He's to good to lose.  :( Most of you don't know, but when I was a newbie, 1776 took the time and winged me on a long B17 mission to Rook HQ WAY back in Beta 3. He  taught me the basics of the game. He didn't have to, but he did.

Thanks Toad for the info. Damnit I am sorry to hear it. I am so sick of hearing about and dealing with cancer already.

Prayers are OTW for him.

Toad, be sure to tell 1776 that his friends in AH are behind him all the way in our thoughts and prayers.  I'll be hoisting a few myself tonight.  Sorry to hear about this.  :(

Toad, please tell OZ and his family that we are with them. The fight has just started; The bogey may seem nasty but I'm still sure that he'll win it.

<S> 1776. You'll make it.
