With a little more searching, I found this post by Wes entitled, &quot;Fowler, not Lazarus, rises from the depths.&quot; It was posted 10-29-02:<BR><BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessa...ext=Wes+Fowler

Hello,<BR>I started this post originally and I just wanted everyone to know that I received an email from Wes about a month ago so he is fine. <BR><BR>I think ec may be confusing with the passing of Ed last year.<BR><BR>God bless us all. Times are really depressing. Here in HongKong, you see people walking around with masks and things just seem to be getting worse with the virus. And then the war....<BR><BR>Hoping and praying for happier times..

I've been worrying over Wes for the past hour now, searching thru his posts trying to find the last one (I must not be very good using the search function). Anyway, I'm happy to read that he's okay. I wish I could e-mail him but I couldn't find an e-mail address for him.<BR><BR>Deepa, if you feel comfortable e-mailing Wes again, do you mind doing so just to let us know? Thank you.

For Beatchick and others,<BR><BR>I'm afraid the news on Wes is not good. His health has declined greatly in the past few weeks and he has not been on the computer for the past few months. The email I had recieved last month was from his wife who was the one who replied to my email yesterday.<BR><BR>Lets hope and pray that he does not have to endure much pain.<BR><BR>Deepa<BR>

So very very sorry to hear this. I hope he and his wife know how far and wide he touched and made new friends.

To Wes And his wife, We are all here thinking wonderful thoughts for him for recovery, and this is from a group who respected him.

Deepa,<BR><BR>Might there be someplace (generic address, of course, such as a hospital or other type of business address) where we might send well-wishing cards?<BR><BR>Wes &amp; Mrs. Fowler, if you see this, just wanted to let you I am thinking of you and you are both in my heart.

I too send best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Fowler and family. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry. I certainly appreciate all the efforts he's made in posting advice. Such a thoughtful person. Just want the Fowlers to know your in my thoughts.<BR>Best, Marge
