Howard, I've never met you, but I'll be thinking of you. Your son is
remarkable; he's setting the bar pretty high with his sacrifice.
Best wishes (and a prayer or two) for the both of you.
Rick

No apologies required I think. We've all known you for a number of
years and I would like to wish you and your son the very best.
I hope to hear about yours and your sons progress on this battle.
Thank you for informing us.

Subject: OT: Howard Richter's is having a kidney Transplant on the
April the 17th
All,
I apologies for posting something to this list that is not Remedy
related. It was the only way that I could think of to contact all of
the people I have worked with in the world of Remedy.
I know that in my 16 years of working with the AR system, I have
crossed paths with a number of the members of this great list and I
just wanted to let that at 8:30am the 17th my 23 year old son will be
donating his kidney to me.
He graduated from college in December (with a degree in IT security)
he has put his life on hold and spent his time helping my wife and I
as we struggle with the loss of my kidney functions (due to some RA
meds I was on in the 90s). We do dialysis at home, so I can work
fulltime and he sees my struggles every day.
I know that we all think our children are unique and will always do
the right thing, but Andrew is the example of that. How many of us
would in truth change our lives forever for someone else? He is doing
this with humor and a desire to get his old man (me) off of that darn
dialysis machine. Words cannot describe how proud I am of him. In a
lot of ways he has set the tone on how my wife’s and I should handle
this challenge we are going through.
So if you have a minute on the morning of the 17th, think a good
thought for me and my son.
Take care and keep well,
Howard
