Been crazy busy with my son's hockey tryouts, sorry for not kicking the money over earlier. Its on the way now. Bo your attention to this has been magnificent. Your selfless work, Im sure, will go a long way to raising Gregory's spirits. What more could a person desire from a group of people that meet only in cyber space!! Well done everyone!!!!!

I received word back from Cheryl, here is her email;

Des,

Gregory's card arrived here last Friday morning. I had hoped he would be home by then but he was running a fever and not released until yesterday afternoon. We gave him the card as soon as he had settled in a bit. I couldn't tell you how surprised Gregory was when he saw it. He's rarely shows much emotion but this time he surprised us all and was very emotional about what you and the guys on the forum did for him. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. It really was a very sweet gesture from all of Gregory's friends.

It will be awhile before Gregory will be posting again. But knowing him it won't be long before he's checking the forum to see what's going on . In the near future there's still a lot of physical therapy to be done. Most of the damage from the stroke was on his left but the right hand side of his body was also effected but not as nearly severe. Most of the right side effects appear to have been temporary. As for his left side ,still improving but some of the difficulties are very likely permanent from what the Doctors have told Gregory and I. Honestly I think they don't know Gregory too well as hard headed should be been his middle name.

Again thank you and God Bless ,

I read Cheryl's message having just finished a long, late stint preparing detailed feedback for students on their last assignment. Her reply and Greg's reaction brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Des and Bo for making this display of our friendship and support possible.

Best wishes
Nigel

PS at last count this little escapade raised $47 US for the forum, not counting whatever might have been donated directly in lieu of contributing to the card fund, so you guys can feel good about that, too :)

All the applause needs to go to Bo for the effort and time he put into preparing and organising delivery of the giant card, without him none of this would have happened. So my heart felt thank you Bo for bringing a smile to Gregory's face.

Also many thanks to all the members who contributed towards the card, your donations certainly helped to make all of this become reality, the left over funds which Bo so kindly donated to the forum will go towards building and maintaining the forum and trying to keep it as the best and fastest growing WW1 aircraft forum on the net.

A big thank You to Bo for taking charge of the whole thing and getting it done, mailed, and knowing how much such a seemingly simple thing can mean to someone in Gregs' position. That said, Des, you created a pretty cool spot for a bunch of like minded lads to hang out, so good on ya as well.
