·As some of you know, I had a stroke on October 31st, 2024. The stroke was caused by a bacterial infection. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how ill I was and I ended up in the hospital and then a rehab facility for about eight weeks total. Happily, I am doing much better now. I have some aphasia and memory issues, but it could have been so much worse. Sometimes a bad thing becomes a blessing in disguise. When I was in the hospital, my doctors discovered that I have been living with a dangerous heart issue that I've had since I was born. That's going to be corrected in a few months with surgery and I'll be fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that I'll be fully recovered in time to put together the 5th 2025 Annual Mid-Atlantic G2G in Baltimore and I'll be writing to our members about this soon. For the moment, what I really wanted to say was thank you for the many OF members who wrote, texted, emailed and even a few showed up to see how I was doing when I became ill. I hope that I'll be able to remember all of them because I really do want to write a personal thank you note to each of you. Many others have said that OF is a lot more than just a watch forum -- and it's true. There are a lot of good people here. Thanks, all. --Greg
