GFM: The Man

2006-12-30 Thread Mark Roberts
GFM regulars will be interested to know about the status of the event's 
organizer and master of ceremonies, Don Nelson. He's been going through 
a bit of bother with lymphoma this past year and recently went through 
a long, aggressive round of chemotherapy with accompanying bone marrow 
transplants and other unpleasantness. I just got off the phone with him 
and though he's still weak - and sounds it - he says he's feeling and 
looking better all the time (What? Looking *better*? Is that 
possible?!). He says there's noticeable improvement every day and his 
doctors say all the numbers (various cell counts and other tests) are 
looking very good.

Apparently, Catherine Morton is working feverishly on preparations for 
having the online registration working on January 1. If it isn't live 
then I'll try to get an estimate of when they think it will be working 
but I don't expect much, if any, delay this year.

Good to hear!

Also, thanks for the heads up about registration --
I wont panic if I see it isn't up - is there another way to register?

I'm definitely coming.

Thanks for the update Mark.

Don IS truly one of the good guys.

I hope he and Bill are well enough to join us again, in 2007.
