Don, is definately one of the good guys. I first met him at Wolf Camera
in Charlotte. When I joined this list and Bill Owen invited me to GFM,
getting me together with Don. I realized that I already knew "Don't give
my name to anybody, I am too busy; but you can call me anytime" Don.
Few people have been as kind and helpful to me as Don. I wish him the
best, always.

I've sent my congrats and well wishes to Don, but I'm glad to offer
more here.
You know, if I had not met Don at Spartanburg Camera lo these many
years ago, the PDML would not exist as it does now, the gatherings at
GFM would not have happened, and many of the friendships we have
formed would not have formed, so Don, for these and so many other
reasons, will always be my brother.
I think of him several times a day, and consider myself honored to be
able to call him my friend.

Grandfather Mountain photomeister Don Nelson finished his chemotherapy
for Hodgkin's Lymphoma a couple of weeks ago. Three days ago (Tuesday)
he got the results of his post-chemo PET scan (Positron Emission
Tomography, I believe - hope it doesn't "fog his film" so to speak <g>).
They found no hot spots, so he's in the clear.
They're probably going to want to keep an eye on him for a while, given
his age (well, he *is* retired now!) but he's officially a cancer
survivor as of Tuesday.
Looking forward to seeing him at the mountain in June. How 'bout the
rest of you?
