I spoke with Bob's friend Don today on the phone. Bob is in his last days and is unable to use his computer for communication. But Don told me that despite the serious situation he is actually not feeling so bad. He has incurable cancer and he has come to terms with that. But Don told me I could share his email donwshearin@embarqmail.com so you can contact Bob through him and he will pass on your emails. Bob had Don get in touch with me so I could let his friends know what is going on. Please send Bob your best wishes through Don and he will pass them onto Bob.
