Hello all,

It has been six years since that near fatal episode of ADEM that nearly ended my life. And this month is always since a special time for me to reflect as to how far I have come since then.

In this I review the kind messages that many of you sent to me when I was in the hospital. My wife and nurses read them to me when I came out of the coma. I was not expected to have survived or come out of a coma after they took a 1" chunk of my brain out.

And when went to the hospital last week to remember it as it was six years ago, a nurse and therapist recognized me. She said, "You are a miracle, Steve. Of the thousands of persons that I have dealt with you stick in my mind. Your recovery was remarkable, and your story of it and what you saw in your coma even more so. And we were ready to pull the plug on you... Look at you now!"

So where am I?

My Clyde Tombaugh house, six years after is still in the process of restoration. And maybe this will be the last year to completion. My interest in meteorites is now directed toward making fine thin sections, as the hunting aspect of it is no longer a very viable option for me. To many dangers, and potential seizures are keep my searching feet in check.

But I am here, and I must say to all that sent e-mails to me from all over the world, that your words and prayers were instrumental in me fighting to regain my senses after awakening from that coma.

I am here.

And I thank you all.
