Yes, but unfortunately he got Craig's date of death WRONG!  He died last Sunday, September 24th, not the 25th!  Sheesh!  

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Well, maybe in England it was already the 25th...

And, now I COULD be wrong about this, but I don't think Craig was responsible for David Selby's website

Yes, but a) Craig died in NY, not the UK, and b) he died early Sunday morning, and the UK is only 5 hours ahead...

 I am very sorry to have heard about Craig's passing.  While I did not know him personally, I corresponded with him via email a couple of times and he was very nice.  I think it's ridiculous that SG didn't print the name of Craig's life partner.  My condolences to Joe and to all of Craig's loved ones.

Craig set up David's website when it first launched way back when.  I have, however, corrected the date of his death... I'm human, typos happen.  I'm sure we can all find better ways to remember Craig than raking back and forth trying to pick holes.

Happy Yom Kippur everyone. Today is the day to ask for and give forgiveness.

Respectfully yours,

Teresa

Absolutely.  It was a lovely tribute, Stuart.

Stuart, you could write the ABC's and I would cry. You have the gift.

i'm sorry to hear about his death wasn't he urging people to have colonscopy
screenings to prevent this? sounds like a lovely man and i find it sad that
his life partner wasn't mentioned hey i'm from Massachusetts and i'm sick
of weirdos lambasting this state for having the courage to do the right thing
and allow same sex marriage What would shadow gram do if they were if they were from here
and legally wed. i'm also straight and went to  my cousin's wedding to his long term partner(great time and it was
nice to see fred welcomed into my family including my 15 year old daughter who doesn't understand what all the fuss
is about
haven't seen the sky fall down or any breakdown of the any family in Mass since this law was passed
hope more states follow suit
one more sad note i've seen many family members want cancer written down instead of aids as a nurse and
i try to look at it as what would the wish of the one who died be(but sadly this doen't always happen either)
i quess we have to be be thankful that some people in the world get it

 Very nice tribute, Stuart.

Wonderful tribute Stuart
I agree we all make mistakes, I had posted the info from ShadowGram about the donations and had to make a correction.

I had a colonoscopy a year ago, and I think every person over 30 should go out and get one ASAP, along with prostate exams, PAP tests and mammographies.  You can never be too sure...

To CE and all others who have been mentioning exams, etc. - excellent advice that cannot be stressed too often.  I would just like to add; if you have any history of ovarian cancer in your family or have any of the symptoms (easily found on the web or better yet, ask your doctor) please have your doctor check you for that too.  Unfortunately the symptoms are very subtle and can imitate many other conditions.   I was diagnosed with this in 2001 not long after coming home from my first DS festival.  Luckily, it was detected early (stage I) and, with the exception of a couple of "scares" that turned out to be okay and due to some other surgery I had this past May, things have basically been going well for me for almost 5 years now.  Believe me; I am keenly aware of how fortunate I am.  I also credit the decision by my place of work to switch from an HMO health plan to a PPO which resulted in my own decision to get a complete physical with the new doctor I had chosen.  So, don't put off your physicals or checkups and, if your body is telling you anything is "off" or not quite right, don't hesitate to bring it up.  And, never think you're too young regardless of the statistics.  At the time, I was pretty well under the age most women are when they get this and yet, there it was.  I also know of one woman who is at least 10 years younger than me who was diagnosed with it about a year before I was.

Take care everyone and remember¢â‚¬¦question authority and listen to your bod!
