She is responding very well to treatment and her doctors are extremely optimistic for a full recovery.<br /><br /> I am under orders from her to continue my hobby activities in a normal fashion, so here I am.<br /><br /> Leon, you have my gratitude for tolerating these O/T threads.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Jerry, <br /><br />I certainly don't speak for Leon but in my opinion these types of threads are never OT. They are a vital part of board members lives and therefore, very much On Topic. <br /><br />We'll keep thinking of you and your wife.

I've directed some of my patient's and families there... It may change your life too. PS, It ain't religion.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>That is the absolute best news I will hear today!! I am so happy she is doing well. We are a collective family and in time of need we pull together. I have seen it happen over and over again. And as far as permitting this it's really a no brainer. WE are family first and collectors second. We might have spats, and this and that, but 99.9% of collectors are good folks and truly care about each other. I know I do and I can safely say the vast majority of the board does too. I have stated this thought many times publicly and I firmly believe it. <br /><br />Steve- Randy Pausch's 'The Last Lecture' is one of the most inspirational things anyone will ever see. I have watched that lecture about 5-10 times and it might be the best speech ever. Period. If anyone doubts it then do a google, watch it, and come back and say otherwise. May he rest in peace.....

Posted By: <b>Matt Goebel</b><p>I know we have never met or had any contact in the past, but your first post really struck a chord in me - that is my biggest fear. I always try to make it a point to feel appreciation and gratitude for all that I have, but those feelings have been more intense for me lately. I was very bummed out to hear about your situation, and I can't tell you how happy I am for you and your family to hear this new prognosis. Congratulations!<br /><br />Matt
