Karen and I were discussing what we should do this year about holding a GTG. Our consclusion is that for this year we should skip hosting such an event, given Andy's current medical situation.

We will miss seeing everyone, but I promise that we will do something next year---2012.

Andy is hanging in there, is mobil, but with many side issues. His tumor has expanded considerably and his future is less than bright. We hope for the best, but realize the inevitable.

Bob, thanks for the information. I, too, will miss seeing everyone, but I understand the situation this year.

Thanks for the early notice, Bob. I will really miss being there, but understand completely.

Please give both Andy and Beth my best.

So sorry to hear that. I was thinking of posting on the other thread to ask for an update.

Sending warmest regards

Regret that but totally understand. It wouldn't be the same without him. hoping he will make it next year. Thanks also to you and karen who work hard on the GTGs.

I'll miss it, too, and thanks for the update on Andy. I was wondering how he's doing.

Bob and Karen, thanks for letting us know. I completely understand that this time isn't conducive to a GTG. It's a sad and stressful time. I'll look forward to 2012 and hope we all can meet then.

Please pass on my best wishes to Beth and Andy and I hope they have many more good days together in the months ahead.

Bob, thanks for the update.

We will miss the GTG and all the friends we have made through it. I am sorry for the reason as well. Our best wishes for Andy and Beth.
