My cousin lost his battle with cancer yesterday. He was in his mid forties.

Dammit blue. Sorry for your loss. We have all been affected by cancer and maybe we are really doing something about it here.

Team FTE is now solidly in the top 1% of folding teams!

I hope our contribution helps. I know it sounds bad but I am glad he passed on for his sake. His bones and brain were so ate up he is now better off. He did not even know anyone. It started in his lungs and just spread everywhere. I have had over a dozen relatives lose their lives to cancer in the past fifteen years. On a good note I have had a few relatives conquer it too. My grandma is a two time cancer survivor. This hits real close to home.

My condolences are added, Blue. Lost my dad same way. Started with Colon Cancer, while I was in 'Nam. Came home and flew to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Wa, where he and mom were. We all came home together the next day.

Then within a year, it came back and was in his lungs. Then everywhere. Watching him die and be eaten ... no... devoured, by Cancer, was almost too much.

I had one last week too! 3900/5000 Something with Explorer... Can't run it the same time as Office or BOOM! Switched to Fire Fox as my browser. But... F@H did send it in and I got a whopping 21 points! Whoo Hoo!

Lenny seems to be several still playing, I still have both of my computors running as hard as they can and glad to see i ain't the only one. The thread may have slowed down but the team sure doesn't seem to have.

All, I wanted to let everyone know I have enjoyed Folding for team FTE, and sharing the experience. I unfortunately have to shut down 4 of my boxes running the FAH program, so I will not be near as active as I have been. The 5th one might be out also. I will try in the future to become more active once again, but for now I have no choice due to a location change. Sorry.
