If I remember right Mr. Boyd said he was having Syringomyelia . I could be wrong. Does anybody Remember Sandy a C 1 quadriplegic on a ventilator? I somehow lost touch with Mike Batista C1 on a ventilator. I think he lived in Georgia may be or somewhere close by. I met him on the quad-list and we chatted often. It's awful when you lose touch you don't ever hear from them again. Dana

I do remember Keith. I haven't heard from him in quite a while. About three years ago I shot a letter off to Boyd Jenkins, because there was some discussion about the oldest living quadriplegic. At the time he was definitely the oldest. I just sent an e-mail to his e-mail address and am wondering if I get a response. How many of you guys remember Boyd? I used to become so frustrated when I was arguing with them, but he really made me look words up and think about my arguments before I just shot off an e-mail. He was definitely one of a kind. I hope you still doing well.

Woah! In addition, I have not noticed any "new, young members" join the list. Or, perhaps they have and are just lurking and/or they are much younger and therefore we seem like old geezers to them. LOL LOL Having said that, I recently came across some old e-mails from "user names" that used to be on this list but that I have not heard from or seen posts from in years. One was "QuadPirate" and another was "BluzQuad." Then there was Keith who was from New Jersey. A couple of years ago, or a little longer, Keith and I had corresponded off list. Being longtime correspondents, I am worried about him. This is because he had two brothers who were helping him but they were beginning to get burnt out and he was worried what was going to happen to him (as far as care) and I have never heard from him since. Anyone remember those guys? Are any of you named above still lurking? Lori -- Lori Age - 45 C4/5 complete quad, nearly 31 years post Tucson, AZ
