Topband: Update on VK3ZL

[David Raymond]

Many active topbanders around the world know Bob, VK3ZL.  Some of you may already know that Bob has been battling cancer.  Ed, K3JJG, recently received an update from Bob's XYL, Jeannie and asked me to pass it on to the reflector.  I'm saddened to report that things seem to have taken a turn for the worse for Bob.  The cancer, which was already under treatment, has spread.  He's been given about six to eight months to live.  He had been placed at a hospital that was quite distant from his home but has recently been moved to a hospital much closer, making it a lot easier for Jeannie to be with him.

I don't know whether or not Bob is able to have access to email.  Nevertheless, if some of you wish to send an email greeting, his address is:  vk3zl at bigpond.com 

Bob. . .if you can see this, we are pulling for you and have you in our prayers!!!
