My last email to Eric was just after he busted up his shoulder on his DRZ400 in late July.  I shared some medical & "philosophical" advice with him on healing & getting on with things. I'm enclosing his response to my email.  It shows another side to Eric.

EJ, you're sorely missed.

[quote]Wow!  Thanks for the email!

I was pretty lucky, low-speed get-off, ended up withright arm in a sling, i guess that is a good thing, relatively speaking!;)

yep, you're right about the "i'm a tough guy" deal.  I have always been one of those near-maniacal totally independent guys, but as age creeps up(32), i'm starting to learn!!!

BTW, i (and numerous others) really enjoy your contrbutions to the list.  We had a small get-together a few weeks ago, and we were all talking about that professor guy!

This latest mishap was the final push for me to really evaluate what is important in life.  5 years ago i moved from CT to Atlanta to get a career going.   Did pretty darn well if i do say so myself, but i never really found a niche down here, and being in an emergenc room quickly brings up who are the really important people in life. As luck would have it, my employer just went through a merger with several companies, including one with several offices in CT, and their website lists a current opening i am quslified for. i think i will move back home, back to the very small family i have left, and life-long friends i know i can trust with my life.

well thanks again, maybe someday i will get to meet you in person, as i plan to someday get out thatway to meet Mike & Carrie Walburn of Dual Star fame.

Cheers! EJ
