Our thoughts and prayers are are with you and your family Ken.
I spoke with Ken (Maurin) the same day that Gary did, and Gary beat me to starting this thread.
I think that Ken scans the forum a few times a week, but the chemo-therapy and
drugs affect people in unhelpful ways, and it makes it difficult for him to post.
However, it sounds as though he gets out more than I do, and is relatively active.
Ken expressed concerns about how his absence might be viewed by other forum
members and wanted it known that he still cares, but things get in the way.
I know that he misses both participating on the forum and using his CW!
He sounds great and has a great outlook but claims that "chemo-brain" is no fun.
He also mentioned that some forum members, that obviously don't know him, had
wondered if he might be the one selling "free" patterns on eBay; I wanted to assure
those people that that wouldn't happen!
I do not think that he wants anything other than understanding of his circumstances.
I also believe that some thoughts and prayers on his behalf would be sincerely appreciated.

Actually I think it is a great tragedy that the person selling patterns, forced Ken to remove all of the great patterns he shared. The loss of his shared art is a big loss to the community. Again, I have been keeping him in my prayers. Get well soon Ken! We need you here!

Every one has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
I pray for Ken and his family.
Over the years Ken has been such a great help to me.
He has given us all so much.
God Bless you Ken.
Happy Carving
