Read a few of his years ago. It seems everyone dies of cancer these days. Why cant people just die of old age like they used to do in the past? I wish him every happiness in the time he has remaining.

This cruel disease not only devastates loved ones with the loss of their closest companion, but scorches their final memories together with the treatments and pain they have to suffer if or when the battle is lost.

I haven't been around long enough to know of the connection between this gentleman and GSV.

I'm sure this won't sound dumb, or make me look completely stupid, but I always thought this reference to Vehicle was to a car. . . never knew it was a spaceship in a book. :lol:

Sounding dumb, being stupid, reasons people fit in rather than stand out round here isn't it? Lol
