Definitely good news! I've known Don since 1971 or so, when I owned a
camera shop and Don was my Nikon rep. Yes, he used to work for the
dreaded N camera!!
He's one of the good guys in the photo industry and I wish him the very
best.

Grandfather Mountain photomeister Don Nelson finished his chemotherapy
for Hodgkin's Lymphoma a couple of weeks ago. Three days ago (Tuesday)
he got the results of his post-chemo PET scan (Positron Emission
Tomography, I believe - hope it doesn't "fog his film" so to speak
<g>).
They found no hot spots, so he's in the clear.
They're probably going to want to keep an eye on him for a while, given
his age (well, he *is* retired now!) but he's officially a cancer
survivor as of Tuesday.
