Hello DUSTers -
I'm very sad to have heard and to be delivering this news. I just
got a call from Mike Mitten's sister Susanne with the latest news.
(If you don't know Mike, he's the list administrator for the DUST
mailing list).
About five weeks ago, Mike had gotten this third chemo treatment
for
Burkitt's American Lymphoma. His prognosis at that time was great
as
it appeared the cancer had gone into complete remission.
Unfortunately,
just after that he developed pneumonia and has been in intensive care
ever since. His body was so strained from the chemo that his immune
system was been unable to fight off the pneumonia which has now
reached a fatal state. Its is very unlikely that he'll last much
longer.
As many of you know Mike, I won't bore you by recounting what a
great person he is and how much of a loss his seemingly certain
death is going to be. I'll make one final posting once I hear
about the arrangements.
I apologize for being the bearer of such tragic news and for
having to deliver it via email.
Also, to answer an obvious question, I will be taking over
as mailing list administrator for the DUST mailing list. If
you have any questions or problems with the list, email me
(alanf@...) and I will try to answer them.

Think Peace.
