<pre>Hello!<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>I most terribly regret to inform the members of the TSA and Furry-Lit <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>and others that Michael Bard, good friend and noted furry author, <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>suffered a brain aneurysm sometime last Friday while at work. As of my <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>latest information, all brain activity has ceased. Unless there is some <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>sign of improvement, he will be taken off of life support Monday <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>morning. Michael has been a very frequent poster for many years, and has <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>not only written many TBP stories but has put together probably the most <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>complete collection of TBP anywhere on the web. Also notable is his <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>novel "Fork In The Road", which I know he's very proud of.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>The only good news I can offer is that I was personally with him as <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>recently as last Monday. Though he was suffering from the flu, he'd just <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>been part of a successful furry-con startup and seemed happy and <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>satisfied with life in general. He smiled a lot, in other words. And, <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>should the worst happen, that's how I'll choose to remember him.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Those inclined to pray are requested to do so.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre><pre> Phil <o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>* * *<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Copyright 2006 by the author of this message.
