Default Truly Sad News I saw on BST re Bill Hedin
I don't know Bill; except to say that I know the name and he's been in the hobby for a long time and as far as I know is very respected.

Regards
Rich

I don't know Bill personally but I do know he promoted dozens of shows every year just north of Boston. Truly a labor of love. Best wishes to Bill and his family.

Bill I don't know you ... my loss, but I'm hoping that you can add to your numbers, not subtract.

Keep taking your cuts amigo.

Respectfully

Bill,

My transactions with you on this board have been by far some of the most enjoyable. You're one of the few people I have felt like I know simply from emailing a little bit about cards and your passion for life and for this hobby is more than obvious.

I wish you and your family peace.

Rob

Wow, this is awful. I didnt know Bill other than his reputation for the shows he put on for many years. The pain will soon be over and peace will be with you. Until then, as others have said, love your family and friends and enjoy the time until you will see them all again someday.

And Im never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
I know Im gonna find my own peace of mind, someday.


From New Horizons by the Moody Blues.

God Bless you, Bill.

Scott.

Bill,

God bless your whole family. Everyone here wishes you well.

Your BST transactions certainly fade in importance to the rest of your life. I don't know you, but you sound like an incredibly stand-up guy.

Keep hoping, pal--miracles do happen, you know!

Jodi

Default You Net 54ers make me proud to be a member.
I heard that some posts were made about my illness, but I'm very emotional reading all the wonderful and kind words by the greatest group of card enthusiasts, my pals on Net54!
Ironically, I retired from shows last summer to spend more time with my family as the arrival of our first grand child was the greatest event! I knew something was wrong in my legs so I have aggressively tracked down the best of Boston's Doctors to help fight this disease.
Every day is a struggle but I live each day literally as if
it could be the last day.
I have no regrets, I love the card industry and I dedicated my life to it. I may be struggling with finances and health, but I'm very wealthy as I have thousands of friends here and the cards are my therapy!
Whatever God has in store for me, I want you all to know that I have a big heart and I sincerely love you all and value each and every one of you for we did something wonderful here by creating an industry out of our hobby. Your letters, emails cards and sportscards that arrive here daily make me so happy.

Remember the good times for it is all good! Stay in touch with me as it keeps me active and happy.

God Bless Us All,
Bill Hedin
