While I blush at the thought that it's been two months since my last posting, I noticed, with some concern today, that it's been five months since Arthur updated his "Frankzonia" blog. Last I heard, he was having some serious health issues. I find the continued silence ominous. Has anybody heard anything?
Arthur is also silent on his favorite Yahoo groups, such as SocDaisy...
ReplyDeleteActually many 'EvE' brothers are silent for months or even years now -Australia (Herrshaden, HMKNSW, Neue Sudland...) specially seems to have sunk under the waves Atlantis-fashion.
I wish that in most cases this silence merely reflects a shifting of hobby interests; but I know that it generally is due to the harsh pressures of 'The Real World™' (illness / unemployment...).
While I am unsure as to Arthur's medical ailments, I do know from his posts that they are quite serious.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't been cognizant of the extent of his silence; but now that you point it out, it is very unsettling.

I just did a quick check. His last EvE post was in March.
ReplyDeleteIn it he stated that his doctor had placed him in a nursing home until his leg healed and that he apparently would not have computer access. Here's the link:

I've also emailed him . . . but if he doesn't have access to the net, that might not help.

Good awareness and follow up everyone.
ReplyDeleteHope we hear from him soon.
ReplyDeleteI emailed him about 10 days ago and have heard nothing back . . . but I'm hoping that he just doesn't have any computer access right now.
