A couple of years, ago, a poster started coming to the GE Forum late at night. His arrival was marked with upbeat posts that were usually posted in all “caps.” Shortly thereafter, this gentleman contacted me at my e-mail contact at the bottom of my editorial. “Humanoid” was a retired healthcare professional who was dedicated to taking care of a loved one in need. David also had some serious problems of his own- only to discover recently that his problems were more serious than he knew. You really had to know David, but even in the face of a battle for his life his attitude never changed one iota. He showed a positive attitude at all times, and he constantly worried about others rather than about himself. This editorial is dedicated to David in this Memorial time period. Hopefully, all of us will find some of David’s courage as these troubled times continue into the future. David, our thoughts and prayers are with you, and if I ever get down to that warm sandy beach for a “cold one”- I’ll be looking for you.
