Hi all,
Larry (villox) here. We don’t post as much anymore, but I thought I’d let you long-timers know that one of our snarkiest posters, @Fitz51, is undergoing surgery today to have a very rare cancer called a Chordoma removed from his spine. It’s a major surgery done over two days, but he’s having it done at Northwestern by one of the three best surgeons in the world capable of treating it. (You may have seen that the actor Gary Sinise just lost his son to the very same extremely rare disease).
I was the best man in his wedding, and he was the best man at mine. We met freshman year at NU by coincidentally living across the hall from each other and have remained friends ever since, in no small part through our love of Northwestern sports.
Anyway you ex-Rant borders know that we don’t believe much in religion or other forms of cosmic wishes, but I wanted to let you know in case you’d like to wish him well nonetheless. It’s a long recovery ahead so I’m sure he’d appreciate the sentiment.
Go ‘Cats!
Larry
